A Man’s Gotta Know His Limitations

[3Sigma]

Try being married to a professional interior designer (as in architecture, not decorating). My opinion only matters because I am the one installing, maintaining, and paying for it.

On one hand, it is good because she can see past the surface and see potential of things, on the other EVERYTHING has to work together, and a single change (like a backsplash) turns into a compete remod.

My only saving grace is her dad (who is a great guy) is not handy at all, so she doesn't know what can and can't be done without my input. Allows me to pull out the engineer's trick of overcomplicating the job if I don't like/want it. She'll then get it quoted by a contactor and quickly drop it.

Grandpa told me when I got married... you will always have the last word “ after you close the door”

she picks everything she wants.. except for brand of milk we drink... I only drink the brand where local farms send milk too ... and cereal... no off brand stuff... other wise what she wants she gets...

Learned a while ago if she’s talking about buying something don’t ask price... because then she starts asking what the prices of my “gun stuff” coast ... I get real quiet then
