We bought a "fixer-upper" about 25 yrs. ago. It was pretty bad, but my husband and I really enjoy working together. He is 70+ and I am a little under 70. Right now, we are repainting the outside of our house. It takes a little longer to get things done, but we have torn down and put up fences, but in new walls, etc. We do cement/brick work together. But, I don't like heights, so he did the roof himself. Last year, we tore my bathroom out to the studs and put in everything new. We work together pretty well. If he gets too bossy, I yell and go in the house. He usually tells me he is sorry and we go back to working on our project together again.
