If You Build It, There Will Be Many, Many Arguments
Whether it was a Barbie Dream House or a new home built from scratch, chances are you have attempted to assemble something with your spouse.
How’d THAT work out for you?

I learned long ago to not even be in the room when my husband works on a project. And any building/repairing projects of my own happen safely when he is out of town. My husband can make anything, but he is so anal and meticulous that every detail must be perfect; once while restoring an old car, he spent two days painting the screws for the engine case! Last Christmas we attempted to put together a play kitchen for our then 2-year-old. My job was simply to put on the stickers; I let him do everything else. After one to many \suggestions\ from the husband about my sticker application technique, I left and hid in the bathroom trying not to cry. Perfection is over-rated!
