    I can't paint, period. When I do it's terrible. Works every time.

    I can't do that, I've been doing remodeling work all my life. In fact that's how we first started dating I helped her paint her house.

      I learned a long time ago that the secret to a successful relationship is to pick your battles. This is not one of them!

          You should rope her into changing the car's oil.

              After doing a major remodel on Master bath, we're doing a minor remodel on guest bath and the conversation goes something like this; She: Where's the paint: Me: In the shed She: I need a screw driver Me: I get one for her, we have plenty of them. I should have known what was coming at this point. She: Do we still have a roller Me: I go out and 6 inches from where she's looking I pull one out. I get everything set up for her and I hear a racket and see her dragging in a tarp. Later She: Ok you can cut in now. (Cut in = Brush around edges where roller can't get, in a bathroom that's about 50%) Me: I thought this was your deal? She: You know I can't cut in, I'll roll when you're done! Me: DOH

              just finished my master bath and bedroom - but I just pointed, waited and wrote checks. Still have a few items hanging on, but my contractor will be back to tie them up. Next up - 3 other bathrooms which I will have to do myself or win the lottery.

                We totally gutted the house, replumbed and partial rewire. It's been two years and we're almost done.

                  She does her share, she's a very good helper and together we're done a lot.

                      I am the money handler, mechanic and all round handy man. Wife does most of the rest. I just can't paint worth a darn. She also doesn't like the way I wash dishes and clothes so it evens out.
