Um . . . I follow cjane & now I apparently follow you. You had me at "All You Marrieds" & I'm having an "idea of saying anything nice about him" kind of day. I too, am preggers, and If I don't put my desire to nest aside for a minute, it'll be the end of me. How are you doing all this at 7 mos? You're my super-hero.

My Hubby, bless his heart, has too much ADD to even contemplate completing a task such as caulking. The thought doesn't reach his beautiful frontal lobe. So be happy that Holbs is task oriented, even if it can be majorly inconvenient.

For what it's worth, I am a caulking pro :D You can never caulk over the old stuff and have it work. You have to go in with a razor blade to remove every scrap of the old stuff first, make sure the surface is dry (even behind the surface), clean, and then caulk. You can even use one of those nifty caulk tools but NEVER use tape to keep the edges nice and clean because that doesn't work, and the best way to destroy good caulk is to use BLEACH on it. Note, the Clorox bottle on the toilet may be your very problem...

So I am quite envious of the perfectionist that dwells in your house.

I'm married to a perfectionist too. We've agreed he has OCD. But of course we're just kidding. Or are we? ;) Anyway, I understand how you feel.

The other thing that makes me laugh about recent photos you have included of your hubs doing things around the house is your dog. Don't miss much does he?

Could have done with someone like your Hubs to render our shower enclosure truly waterproof! It ended up dripping into the lower flat recently and the plumber who came to fix it was not as meticulous as your hubs seems to be. Be thankful he's so fussy, a leaking shower or bath is no fun.

teehee! awww. i think after the 2nd or 3rd time i'd be demanding at least 24 hour notice prior to him getting all caulk-happy. that way at least you'd know not to run that day! ; )

Detail oriented is my name!
I cannot help but fret myself to death with the very last detail! If only I could live as free as you!

Having been blessed with ginger hair follicles myself, I can understand what you are going through. My husband is subjected to me daily, and sometimes I wouldn't wish that upon anyone.

However, my husband has a red beard (that one time I let him grow it out when we were dating) which he uses to get back at me every so often.

I, too, have a perfectionist hubby. My husband, however, doesn't work on things around the house very often. That could be because we're renting, though. Maybe when we get a house of our own, he'll be the same way as the holbster.
