Hope every 1 has had a great Saturday today doing
something you enjoy doing, I know I sure did ha ha ha
hubby has been pulling this thing where he'll get up
at wee hrs of the night & stay up till I get up then he'll
go back to bed around 9-10 am & sleep ALL DAY.
Well that didn't happen today cause I was on a roll to
get SOMETHING done today so I told him we need to
work on our 4 legged babies grave getting the trees
off it so I can work on getting it REDONE cause the
honey suckles are over taking it & if we don't get on it
we'll NEVER find the fencing around it that got mangled
up by the tree man when he cut down our trees.
So we jumped on that got like 4-5 hrs on it done when
we got MOST the big stuff away from it & took a break
then after that we jumped on another project where we've
had this 4 ft tree stump in the front yard since we moved
here & I'm tired of looking at it & told him I want it GONE.
That was another 4-5 hr job just trying to widdled on it till
we got at lest a ft of it cut off & still have another 2-3 ft to go
we didn't slice cut it we BUTCHERED it piece by piece till
we got a ft of it cut off the top, no certain cut, no certain way
as long as we got some of it cut off or down I didn't care.
I told him as long as we can get it low enough where I CAN
bury it I'll be happy, so here's MY QUESTION to you all.
If I can get him to work like he did today OUTSIDE why can't
he work like that on my damn cabin???? what's up with that?
it's every excuse in the book on why he can't work in the cabin.

That's what I'm thinking, which makes sense to me
but he ALSO knows it HAS to be DONE & we can't
get any 1 else to do what needs to be done.

@2ndchances24 - There is a small thing that needs to be fixed outside. I will do it myself as soon as the weather gets better.

Maybe so, but I can't just let things go as they are or I'll be BACK
in the hosp AGAIN & may NOT make it the next time around.

Sounds like you are the only one interested in the cabin, I hope you can get him motivated to get the cabin done for you,

yeah, I've been on his case & dropping hints I'm not happy
& he can't stand it when he knows I'm not happy so we're
working on it as much as we can without wearing him out.
I just wrote a new post a few mins ago about it just B-4
you responded, we're somewhat CLOSE with the ceiling.

We're making some MAJOR progress, cause I told him
there's no sense in excuse's cause it's going to get HOT
& you will have a lot of time to B-tch then, that changed
his mind & got on a roll to getting things done.

We use the 3rd bedroom for a junk room, and boy is a Junk Room. I would get in there and work on it, but can hardly get through the door, and no where to put the stuff so I can get in to the boxes. When Tom doesn't need something and wants to clean his area in the Livingroom, he takes it and puts it just inside the room. Have mentioned many times that we really need to get in there and get it organized...but..though he agrees...never gets done. He works Sat, Sun, Mon, and since the tourist season has started he will probably work a half day on Tues...off Wed and Thur ..not sure about Friday. He is 66 years old and still pushing and pulling large carts of linen..some weighing about 800lbs. So I kind let it go. I think maybe though if I start pulling stuff out he will atleast help. LOL I just want a pathway so I can go through things and see what to put in a yard sale or donate to Salvation Army.

Get your mojo in gear & get started & start throwing stuff to get his
atten I bet he'll get the hint then, that's what I had to do to mine to
get him off his duff to help me.

I don't like to nag or brag I just want to get things done &
stop putting it on the back burner to do other things BUT
at the same time, other things have to be done as well.
