I just asked my DH (who would happily help me in my sewing room) for thoughts on this. His suggestion is go out to your garage, get a hammer, get a saw bring in a few pieces of wood and ask him where the nails are. He should be glad to help per my DH.

Ditto here. His ex-wife gave me a "Graham 101" primer. She said start a project, get far enough along that it now has to be finished, then just stand there and scratch your head. Within seconds Graham will be there ... usually saying "why didn't you just ask!". It won't work if I just buy paint - I actually have to START painting.

too funny.. some men are so hard to bribe.. but they usually all have their their price, for most things. If I can't get help by asking, then bribing, then I do it myself. whatever way it has to happen, it happens..

Great ideas everyone. Maybe I'll just read all these ideas to him and let him take his pick.

Lost his car keys in there, tell him you just don't know how it happened. Then make him move the machine so you can look behind, nope, no keys. Put that machine over there. Maybe they fell behind that bookcase...You get the idea.
My sewing area is in the basement and I have to deal with cobwebs in the rafters and behind things. I am so creeped out by these and hate to clean them up. When I want my son to use the shop vac on them, I hide dollar bills around the room and when he sweeps he gets what he finds.
