Hi Diana! My hubby is a carpenter by trade - so he can (or could) do almost anything in terms of building. He and I (with a little help from our friends) built an 800 sq ft addition on to the back of our house 6 years ago. It took us a year to complete. Like your hubby though, he was usually VERY slow to actually complete things around the house. He was motivated to build the addition which consisted of the den he had always wanted and my mom had moved in with us and our house was only about 1200 sq ft and had only one living area. He really wanted his "man den".
Now that he can't do much at all, it is very hard for him to let someone else do the work - but he did great today (as you can see in the picture).
Speaking of pictures, they did get finished, but it was too dark to take pix - I'll do that in the morning.
We had one little hitch though - they cut the cable when digging for the sidewalk in the back. Our internet, TV and telephone all come through the cable
I called my handy dandy son-in-law who can do most ANYTHING and he came by to splice it together till the cable company comes tomorrow to fix it.
When I called the cable co, they said the first appointment was NEXT THURSDAY! I said, "Uh no, we have TV, internet, and phones by cable, I need it fixed NOW" She said she'd check with the supervisor and then came back and said that they'll be here tomorrow, but they can't tell us when. She said they'd call before they come. I said, "Hmmmm....how will you do that since the phone doesn't work???" I was calling on my cell - so I told her she could call that number. Some people!!!
