Want a good tip for a harmonious house?

Never, ever, ever let a husband offer to buy and fit you a new tap for the kitchen sink.

It won't fit, will take him all day to find out it doesn't fit, will cause chaos and then he'll have to put it all back how it was - whilst getting angrier, angrier and angrier!!

Oh and it will involve a trip to a local DIY store to get a part that he now needs as he chopped off a bit of a pipe earlier to make said new tap fit - which it didn't!!!

Roll on bed-time!!

Any other tips???

my husband + DIY = bad mood!
He's always so calm & mild mannered, until he starts doing DIY so I usually try to steer him clear! sigh.
have fun!

teehee He sounds like my husband...

Mine is not handy at all and when we were younger, money dictated that we do our own DIY projects. Oh, I had to grit my teeth...
Luckily now, my SIL is self employed in the trades and almost all his friends are in various trades.
We qualify for the friends and family rate! Yay...no more DIY for us.
We now have home phone numbers for a plumber, a finishing carpenter, a kitchen fitter, a cabinet builder, an electrician, a carpet layer and a tiler!
Ahhhh, life is good!
