Shiny!
You MUST be doing something right!
What is it? Is it a change in your attitude towards him, your demeanor, acts of service for him, WHAT? There has got to be some clues that you can pick up on.

I have found that one of the best ways to get a project done (kinda by my h) is to start it...eventually h has to butt in and eventually he takes over, and it gets done!!! yippie!

Enjoy the effort that he is putting into your house/r. Appreciate him. I know...even if you don't feel like it... you must be the bigger person here and keep going. Don't let lulls set you back. (talking to myself as well)

hang in there, you are still shining!!
