WOW where do I start? After 31 years together we have done so much together. Resided our home, put in new windows, cut and covered kitchen counters done tile work, gardening, built a koi pond and deck, done house wiring and I often help with our RV repairs. He is certainly a "doer" and would be lost if anything ever happen to him. Oh yeah our most recent project was clearing over an acre of property for our daughters horse. That folks, left alot to be desired!!!!!! LOL

I've helped with a lot of things, but the most recent..
building a storage shed, for mowers, etc. He bult the first
wall on the floor. Have you ever tried standing up a WALL??
We had one side tied to a garage, and the other to a pickup
and we lifted until we both almost lost it. I tell him,, "I'm not the best help...but I'm the cheapest"

My DH and I built our log home together and didn't kill each other!! Amazing! LOL He is very handy and I am one lucky woman! He fixes my car, keeps my motorcycle running in top shape, and does a lot of maintenance stuff himself.

Many years ago we put tile on a tub surround, we stood in the tub together laughing because it took us about 3 times as long as was estimated. We have things like that done now.
I did do the bookkeeping for his business, but we don't do well on that either. He doesn't like to be told things that he needs to do, like give me invoice, tell me the amount of the check you wrote. I called it slavery. We have now retired and I swear he is getting grumpier by the day.
