    Default Anyone have 1/2 finished jobs around the house??

    -sigh --
    My dh - gotta love him. Is SUCH a talent. He can build me anything but he is sooo bad at finishing a project. Right now we have

    1 counter top tiled (not grouted), the other isn't touched!
    1 unpainted french door he HAD to have in the kitchen
    1 awesome walk in closet he built.....3 years ago. Still not painted or the trim put back on.

    I'd attempt to finish but I'd just ruin the good work. Maybe I'll make a honey DO list!!

    My dh is the same way. I couldn't begin to count the half finished projects around the house. It drives me nuts!

    I'm afraid to say I'm the one letting the side down in our house. When I want to get something done I will but these times are few and far between. DH hates DIY but when it has to be done he does it as fast as possible to get it over and done with.

    So yes we do have many jobs that aren't finished but Scott is not the one to blame, I have a very short attention span and a big desire to be doing something else.

    Oh my - this is MY husband!

    ~ our main shower has been leaking for about 4 years. There is a hole in my dining room ceiling with a pan in it. DH is waiting for it to "dry out" to fix it. It has been drying out for 3 months now.

    ~ I am still waiting for him to move the girls old beds to the attic so I can finish the family room.

    ~ the bathroom faucets all leak

    ~ We have a door frame in our garage for our back door that has been there for 3 years.
