My DH and I have done several projects including major home rennovations. Right now we are restoring a 1902 Victorian we just bought as our retirement home. Some days things go well, other times...not so much. We both understand what works well and try to avoid areas of conflict by approaching the subject when we are not tired and or stressed. We also have learned to give in to the other with specific things that are very important to each. DH gets very hyper organized when he is stressed/tired and I just want to "get 'er done" when I am stressed/tired; we've learned to negotiate and work through those times. We also love the results and think about how much we will enjoy it when finished. There are areas of the rennovation that I manage the changes (kitchen) and areas that he controls (his office and garage) He also has a good design eye and has helped me design several quilts.
