It seems the exact opposite of FRs method - which is to turn everything upside down first and then do bits here and there....as for finishing....! However, I agree that it's not useful if our interest is interpreted as nagging. I deny that I nag but I do like to get a straight answer sometimes!<br />AxxxArtyZenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12628693178003940118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222502286514724902.post-68992105181161965952015-05-22T20:27:50.441+02:002015-05-22T20:27:50.441+02:00FR is just not good at planning - and I love to pl...FR is just not good at planning - and I love to plan. That's the problem, and although I haven't answered Nilly yet, I know exactly what she means. I know I don't nag. I communicate. My husband doesn't! And when I try to 'talk about' what he intends doing, he goes into a bit of a panic and thinks I am nagging. He doesn't like to admit he simply doesn't have a plan!ArtyZenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12628693178003940118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222502286514724902.post-76838078886154456992015-05-22T20:24:40.187+02:002015-05-22T20:24:40.187+02:00Hi Annie - I should have waited another few days a...Hi Annie - I should have waited another few days as the roses have gone from fabulous to spectacular!

Mr N only discovered his handyman skills about 3 years ago when he decorated his first room - one wall at a time, from stripping, filling holes to final coat - only then to start on the next wall! However, the room now looks so beautiful that I've vowed to let him continue DIY-ing in his own sweet way.
