When it's a one-way street...part 4

[2thepoint]

CV, these are things that I would label as "Honey Do's." The list often grows long before it starts to grow short only to be added to once again. Your H needs to be able to get to these chores in his own time, not yours, thus the list.

Here's an idea. If the flapping siding is really bugging you, secure it in the most obvious way possible (duct tape come to mind). This way you temporarily solved the immediate concern without preempting your H's ability to complete the tasks correctly as he has said he would do.

There is an old I Love Lucy episode where Lucy wants Ricky to build a BBQ grill in the back yard and he keeps putting it off. So one day Lucy and Ethel decide they'd start it in the hopes that Ricky and Fred would be so appalled by their W's notion that they could do a "mans job" that they would take over and everyone would be happy. Of course a lot of hilarity ensues but I think you get my point.

Do what you need to do, but just enough to solve your immediate concern while letting your H follow through as you are expecting him to do.
