My DH does these things to help me as well. He's always trying to "help" in the kitchen. I haven't moved anything in this kitchen for 10 years, and he still doesn't know where anything goes. My DD moved back in recently, and after 2 weeks knows where all but 2 things go. I don't let him in the sewing room except to help with hanging shelves etc. He wants to "help" by throwing things out.
He's hard to live with, but my life would be very dull without him!
