How do you get rid of your wife while DIYing?

[emilne82]

My one just stands their asking "Whats that and what does this do?" while complaining it's taking to much time. Then if you ask her to help hold anything she complain that she cant!!

How do you get on with your missus while working on projects?

Perhaps you could bore her away? get a drawing board, and when she asks questions, do an illustration of the principles involved, with examples of alternative methods, the history and development, and the materials?

And (this is an old manager's trick) have a selection of small but unpleasant jobs handy... each time she interrupts you, ask her to do one of them.

A few years ago I was cutting a small section off a laminate floor board and the missus thought she'd be helpful by trying to catch the piece that I was trying to cut away....

"NO!!!!" I shouted, as her fingers went within 2 cm of the still moving jigsaw blade....

She went white as she realised what nearly happened...

Now, whenever she starts getting in the way when I am doing DIY, I remind her of this event and she goes white again and leaves me to it.

So, to answer your question: These days we get on just fine.

I've just finised digging out for a new patio, so if you would like to get rid of your wife theres plenty of room.

I remember when I did my patio. I laid all the hard core and sticking out of it was one of those thick plastic gloves ( you know, the type smells like decaying animals when you wear them ). I can always remember the blokes face when he came round to barrow in the concrete. It wasn't long after the 'patio' story in Brookside either

This thread made me laugh cos I'm the wife and I do the DIY!!!!

well i am very lucky, my wife only interupts me with cups of tea. I do sometimes ask her to help with an arkward job and she is always willing.

then again i have to add that she LOVES to see me wearing my tool belt.
