HP I have to agree with SolidMechanic here, anxiety is his monster which shows up as avoiding. Your description of H spackeling and SM's post about anxiety hit a nerve in me somehow, but that is just me.

I finally figured out he went down to our basement to do a little spackling.
Next time you can ask Mr HP if you needed any spackelling somewhere, but tell him he has to lick it off to get to the good stuff?

Boy, 1 coffee and a half a brew a day.
