Yesterday, my husband asked me what my plans were for today and I told him. He then asked if I could spare a few minutes to help him do something outside. I said sure, what do you need? His reply was just hold a measuring tape for him. I, of course, said sure!
We got the measurements done and then he hit me with another one. 
He asked if I would help him move the canoe over. He wants to hang it in his storage container, but today he just wanted it moved from the current location to over by the garage for the tractor. So we moved the saw horses and one end of the canoe alternating until we got it moved from horizontal to vertical and along the edge of the garage. He will be asking again soon for me to help him move it to the storage container...
It didn't take long at all, just about 10 minutes. He is prepping for his new project which will be building a winter cabin so he doesn't freeze next winter. It will be a fun project to see through!

@kareng I know some people are like that. Neighbor was freaked out by the trees between my house and hers, so had them removed instead of trimmed. Annoyed me because I liked the shade from the tree. talk about ver doing it.

I bet he is glad to have you around! Don't you live in a house? Why would a winter cabin be warmer?..maybe cozier..but warmer than a house?

@snowy22315 Yes, it was designed to have air flow in the hot summers. Winters used to not be as harsh down here as they are now.

I told him when he finishes we can build a new chicken coop. LOL. He didn't jump to commit to that, just asked why we needed a new one. I told him the original one is getting old and we have a new design that we want to implement with built in next boxes so he took it into consideration!

You have been a great helper from what I read. Plus, it looks like a well productive and husband and wife team-oriented day! Moving the canoe should have been challenging. Luckily it took only 10 minutes. I like the winter cabin project idea. It does sound exciting. Sure, it will be great to see once completed. I am also sure he would need a bit of helping hands along the different phases. And I am sure you would be happy to help and provide ideas to him. Do give us updates on the project , especially when it is all ready. Have a great weekend ahead!
