I love the fact that you two are working together on home improvements! My H started doing yard work and building planters out of driftwood for the driveway when he first started coming back around to wanting the marriage. It was a sort of "domestic" sign that he was giving me. He also bought a small freezer for our family room, so that we could store extra frozen food items. So, these are great signs as far as I am concerned that your H is really committing to working on things!
