DIY - sort of

If you’re asking why so much of the work on “my” reno that I was going to handle “all by myself” is being executed by my husband, it’s like this. You know that DIY stands for “do it yourself”. Well, after that came “DIFM” or “do it for me”, which applied to homeowners who called in contractors and install experts to do the work. I’ve simply coined a new phrase. PAPTGVBALMTYH (plan a project and then get very busy and leave most of it all to your husband.) Fortunately John has not yet started complaining. Hands up if you think the guy at least deserves a top of the line new table saw for all his hard work? Or maybe a restful weekend at the cottage - oops, I forgot, there's more work for him up there! In the meantime, I'm Very Busy testing non-stick pans. I'll report back soon.
