I've done everything wrong and need help!!!!!

Quick update (can yous tell am a talker or as 5 love languages says am a babbling brook)

I called my wife there and said "hi, this house thing needs to get sorted and done up if it's to get sold. What if we went out Wednesday and got the tools and paint that's needed to fix the place and then Thursday I'll come round early and start sorting what needs done"
She said "that's really nice of you and I appreciate the offer but am off Tuesday so I was gonna get it started then"
I said "if it's your day off Tuesday why don't ya do something on your day off rather than fix the house. Something you enjoy doing. I'll get started on Thursday and I don't think it'll take long to get it fixed so make Tuesday a day for you to go enjoy yourself"
She said "ok that's nice of you. I need to get some work done before I get a call at 2 so I'll call you back later"
I said "look it's ok. You don't have to call back I just wanted to arrange Thursday so it's cool. I'll see ya Wednesday afternoon"
She said "ok Wednesday"

I think that's a great start. Not the answer to everything but an oppertunity to show a change starting. Plant a seed so it can grow. I can't expect things to change over night. But I think this is a step in the right direction.

Her 5 love laugages (which I've always known) are:-
1-service. 2-quality time. 3-words of affirmation. That's the main 3. This oppertunity is a chance to give all 3. We both help with fixing this house to sell spending time together focusing on a project that's not the relationship but has a positive out come. Encourage and compliment her on the jobs she does. And taking time out to help her is the service.

I hope am going about this in the right way.

Tell me if am not or making a mistake. The pitfall I see with this plan in not giving her space. Should that be a real concern?
