Yes, it was difficult, NO...VERY VERY difficult to let my husband help me but I got so buried under the weight of the clutter and not having good types of storage that i HAD to let him in. It made me crabby but he was quite supportive because he knows that being overwhelmed is emotionally crippling for me. It has taken many many years for him to get to that level of patience..45 years of marriage. we put everything in tubs to haul out. It killed me to have that done even though I knew it was just going to storage until I got shelves and drawers in there. Then I got sick for a few months, had a difficult surgery, and now I am ready to get with the program. I painted the room, he brought in hte storage that the bought for me for Christmas. Sometimes I still hyperventilate when he shows up to help. I don't like his style but it gets it done...my style does not get it done. He has been like a coach which I desparately needed. Yet he does not have the vision/understanding so good on how to store fabric. I am working through that, gently trying to persuade him with "No, this would be better". Some of it will change after the project is "done". I will need to redo just a few things...like where I want the cutting table. I am trying to Grin and Bear IT.. like I said, my style does not get anything done, his stye does even if it drives me nuts at the time. Best of luck to you.
PS. Now it is so much fun when he brings in another tub of fabric to fondle and fold and put away. I had to tell him not to let anymore tubs of fabric come into the house until I get the stuff here cleaned up and put away. Given a tub of fabric or house work, I will play in the fabric any day of the week.
