It has been said on here that life is to short! They are right! Besides that, anything that bleeds for 7 days each month is hard to understand.
The last holiday me and the wife went on we ended up having this huge row, about me only ever wanting to go surfing when we were on holiday. Of course, I absolutely refuted this. After half an hour of arguing about it, I stormed out and went surfing until it got really dark. Returned 5 hours later to absolute silence, until the next day when all was forgotten. So we went surfing.
Usually she is an angel and tries really hard to get into all the daft things that I love doing (surfing, snow-boarding, climbing, motorbikes etc.) She has only ever complained about me shaping once, and that was cos I was glassing with poly resin with no mask on, next day new full respirator wrapped up on the table waiting for me when I got home from work. Like I say, angel.
I do however, work really hard at making sure our house is straight and nice, but it is OUR house, and I love living here…with her. (And my way cool son, Dan).
Try to enjoy fixing the roof, and see fitting the kitchen as good practice of carpentry skills ready for when you build a hollow wooden, wallpapering is sound practice for getting the ripples out of your glass cloth. If you let your house turn to shit, it takes a hell of a lot of hard work to get it back again.
My advice with the shaping is to try to only be in there for a couple of hours at a time. Women can usually find some shite on the TV to keep them amused for that long, if there’s no ironing to be done.
