GGG,

Good thinking on your part about too much togetherness. However, H seems open to doing projects. Hmmmm...you have several unfinished projects around the house...no? Maybe can tackle one small project and ask H to show you "how" this and that is done.

1) You work together
2) H gets to show off some of his skills
3) H feels like the "big shot" here

What do you think?
