Will that do it for HIM? Make him feel like he has value? Is it possible that it will have the opposite effect, in making him feel inadequate because I'm knocking things off the list right and left and he's not? (simply because I am more motivated than him, plus work is really slow right now so I have more opportunity.) I don't want to go backwards.
We already have a "things to do" list. Some things have been on there for years. This siding (and the furnace, hot water heater and taxes) have an external priority to them. I was told that maybe I needed to let him handle those things in order to "Give H a chance to shine." I was trying to do that with the siding issue and the hose, but I'm not sure I have it right.
