My ex-husband was a carpenter and the whole house was a perpetual construction zone with projects started but never finished.
However, to be fair and not make it seem like we are picking on the guys, I did bookkeeping and HATED to do my own bookkeeping. I did it for 10 hours a day, five or six days a week, at work so the last thing I wanted to do, on my precious few leisure hours, was to do bookkeeping.
One thing though that my first marriage taught me was to learn how to do the construction things myself. This way I wouldn't be continually ticked off at everything always being torn up and I didn't turn into a 'nag' for him to finish it.
Twenty-six years later, I still do what I can in my house. Without learning how to do it back then, I would not be able to do what I can now (yes, I am a 'glass-half-full' kind of person
