[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Often the SAH parent is more in [b]tune with home values [/b]and updates than the non-SAH parent. I'm a SAHM and my husband was indeed initially resistant to large-scale projects (and by large I mean kitchen or basement reno, not 4,000sqft addition), but he would come around when I'd point out [b]that other families with similar incomes and homes had recently done it.[/b][/quote]

This is a very subtle troll post, bravo!!

OP these are not modest improvements , especially since granite is DONE, and he knows you will be itching to renovate the whole kitchen in 5 years tossing out your perfectly good counter top.

And you know home renovation is comsumptive purpose, not investment.  You may get back $0.50 on the dollar spent.

What you need to do is buy your husband time -- find some other way to cut your expenses so he sees how important it is. It *is* your job to communicate what is important to the family; if you believe this counter and floor are important then show him don't tell him. Action!
