I just don't understand my wife.
She's always nagging me to fix things around the house. I do all the jobs, she still isn't happy or satisfied.

I'm currently working on a massive sky light window in the roof. Iv'e had a bit of a problem. When it snowed
all through Thursday night, the weight of all the snow on the eight foot by six foot plastic sheet, collapsed and
the the weight has brought two of the ceilings down in two of the bedrooms, bathroom. and landing. The snow
has thawed and all the water is running down the bedroom steps, it's quite funny, it looks like a mini water fall.
My missus hasn't much of a sense of humour and she can't see the funny side. It's not really a problem, I tell her,
I'll fix it in the spring when the weather picks up a bit. We are living in a caravan at the side of the house at the
moment. My missus is moaning again about it. I tell her things could be a lot worse, I tell her to imagine we
are on a little caravan holiday, in Spain or somewhere, she said, "What when it's thick of snow". She's no
sense of adventure and she still can't see the funny side, when I keep mentioning the mini waterfall down the
bedroom steps..... It tickles me...lol........oh!....Happy Days are here again,,,,,,,

All looks good to me. As long as it all works what she got to complain about. How ever if the mother inlaw was to drop in, run for the hills.

Thanks for looking and comments. Coincidence, you mentioned the mother-in-law Al. She showed up yesterday un-announced....... to me. She's a bit like like my
missus, no sense of humour, she's a very attractive and smartly dressed woman. She's been on a 3500 calories per day diet for eleven years, she says she's got
her weight down to 119 pounds, but she looks just the same to me. Her name is Sophia, but she insists that I call her Mrs McQueen-Brando, I haven't a clue why,
she lives in a dream world most of the time. I once said to her, jokingly, "You know I have a soft spot for you," she said, well that's a change, a comment, coming
from you, I said, "Yes it's in the garden behind the garage". She didn't say anything, I was hospitalised. My son, when he was about seven years old said to her,
my daddy says you have a face like a bull dog chewing a wasp. He hasn't had a birthday or Christmas present since 1987. I have enclosed a picture of Mrs BrandMcQueen.
stood under the gaping hole in our roof, it isn't a problem. It's a lovely, almost life like picture of her.....Does she look 119 pounds to you???????

Craftsmen like you Graham are few and far between. I hope you don't mind me taking a tip from one of your pictures I've replaced the hydraulic jack holding up the gas boiler in my utility room and replaced it with a mechanical one similar to the one you use. Please keep up the DIY tips its not often artisans share their secrets.

Cheers Bob

With a resourceful husband like you I simply don't understand her displeasure. I was really taken with your temporary loo or is it a permanent thing? If permanent it could bring new meaning to the phrase that one is freezing their butt off as I assume it is meant for outside use.

Great one Graham. I actually know people like this, but most of them are single.
