Tweetwe sold our first house in december 2002 it was new and i didnt have to do anything to it. my wife wanted an antique house so she could make it look like those homes in the magazines. i dont know whether to shit or wind my watch i am so busy with projects. my back aches i have splinters and i have paint under my fingernails all the time it SUCKS! i have been out in my boat 3 times this year that is not right i tried to tell her i need some free time. she goy pissed and told me we are building our dream home, itold her it's her dream home not mine, i'm going out. i left and just came in my wife wont talk to me. i feel like she is a slave driver. i hurt my wrist climbing in the attic and fell running cable and now i cant train. i am supposed to start cycle in 8 days. how can i make her understand this is her hobby but i got my own.

Dude I don't know what your communication is like w/your wife, but it really seems like the two of you need to have a very serious open minded two way discussion on what it takes to make things work. And that doesn't mean you bringing home the bacon and building her dream home. Imagine if something fatal happend to one of you tomorrow. What would all that time and energy that goes into the house do for you then? Nadda! You can't kill yourself doing things like that day in and day out w/o taking quality time away alone and together to remind each other why you love one another and what is truly important. That's my opinion...since you asked what we thought.

wow thanks Dr. Phil jk

just have her start helping .....maybe when she sees thats that shit is hard work she might not be such a slave driver.

Jipped, I do everything on my house. I mean everything! Plumbing, electrical, tile work, sheetrocking, and painting.

Easiest way to make her stop is to tell her to go out and get a price from contractors if she needs the work done so bad, otherwise she has to wait and give you some down time. My wife shit three ways to hell when she found out to run 300 square feet of durango limestone up 9 feet in a 8x5 bathroom would cost her about $8000.00 + the tile. The bathroom I finished was about $9000.00 in materials and I priced it out at Home Depot Expo for labor (I bought the material there) at about $21000.00
She hasn't bothered me since.

BTW-if you have any questions, I'd be happy to help. Been doing this for about 20 years and "This Old House" got nothing on me.
