First, I want to say that there is a lot of good advice on this thread. As someone said, lots of experience here. If you are still reading this, please post pictures. They help me all the time!! (Board members that is.)
Second, while I agree with others here, don't trash.........I would like to say "yay for your hubby!!!" Sounds like he is just trying to support you and doesn't want to see you frustated. How sweet is that?!?!?!
Good luck and let us know what you end up doing with your project!
