Just remind him you love him..and remember, always smile at him when he comes home and love him. That's mostly what men need and want. Love.
As soon as he comes to grips with his loss, then start telling him how nicely he can do the garage...no, you said he was not a handyman, so keep reminding him how smart he is and how you love HIS idea of selling the car, and how smart he was to get a house with a big garage that could be made into a sewing room so he can watch TV in peace and quiet, and actually hear it.
Think that would work? It used to with my own DH.
Ditto from me! Hubby turned our garage into a woodshop which I had previously been using as my office. I'm a travelling computer/printer technician so have lots of inventory that moves in and out as well as a company vehicle which was all nicely contained in a garage stall until hubby decided to be a woodworker. Now I have to inventory outside in the cold, rain, heat, etc. but the reason I gave up my garage office was because I have a very large bedroom converted into my sewing room and felt guilty about having 2 spaces and he was having to constantly shuffle stuff around on his side of the garage to do his wood working.
