It's been an interesting experience so far...I love doing yard work.
BUT, as a friendly reminder to all you men out there...when your woman wants to use the garage as her personal storage bin for all of her crap, put your foot DOWN.
My garage is currently filled to the brim with her crap from her storgae bin (we moved everything over). I was getting upset last night and she gave me the line "it seems like when your stuff is out, you don't get upset, as though my things don't matter"... I replied "it's because I have my tools on the bench, one empty computer case, and one flattened box...the rest is yours".
She hushed up FAST.
Also, she likes to leave empty or half empty boxes lying around (god forbid she get a package in the mail); the remedy to this? I empty them for her! She'll stop me and take over. If I didn't do this, she'd come home and sit on her butt, empty boxes strewn about. It takes her forever to do anything. If they seem upset abouty you doing this? Just say, "I see all these things that need to be done, and I want to help".
It's all mind games my friends...women are utterly verbal. Remove the verbal component (the ill-logic they possess) and take matters into your own hands.
AND it worked like a charm. I've got her gutting the garage this weekend because she knows that *I'll* do it for her if she doesn't.
It's glorious...I can park my car IN the garage.
Oh, and our 3rd bedroom is my *dude* room, so I told her it's off limits. She's got her PC in there (in the closet), but everytime she leaves crap laying around? I simply pick it up and place it her room (the first bedroom with MORE of her junk). That's her free room, I don't say anything to her about it.
