I learned early on that it was easier to do things myself. Don't get me wrong eventually DH would have gotten around to doing what ever I wanted done. We bought a house and it was painted a very dark depressing gray.If we didn't leave the outside lights on we could not see it after dark. After a month no plan was made to re-paint. Being married to the boss has its advantages.I took the day off from painting some where else and painted our house instead. The only reason he found the house that night was because my truck was parked in front. That week end he noticed how bad the back porch really was so we tore it out and replaced it with a bigger and safer one.I picked my battles wisely.I would take care of repairs and maintenance except any thing electrical. Hey I would look terrible with frizzy hair lol
