Just watch for a woman with a LOT of new shoes. It would be her husband that is the proud new owner.

If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done!

Well, like alot of women, my wife wants horses. I don't want horses because I grew up with them................I remember feeding them them oats twice a day, making hay and straw, fencing, calling the vet, or hauling them to the vet, shooting them in the head, digging the hole to bury them, etc....................the wives don't consider all that. They just think they are pretty to look at. I've spent the last 3 winters doing nothing but remodeling our house and I like to think I've done a pretty good job. Considering that, I don't feel too bad about spending all of December restoring a D17, buying a WC for cheap, and picking up a D19 just because I wanted it...........

I can get my wife to pay for trips to look at what i want but i can't get her to spend any money on tractors. Oh well at least i don't have to buy her shoes.
My trade off is the time spent on the house. As long as i don't get kicked out i don't mind.
Don't tell her but i am planning to never completly finish the house. If i do she won't have a reason to keep me.

Well I don't have that problem since I'm retired and the wife is still working.
I just say you do what you want since it's your money and I'll do what I want with your money.
That was easy.

I have the next tractor deal all lined up -- except for the hard part-- telling my wife she always gives the OK but with the feeling she is keeping score. So far I'm ahead I think, she really is great!!

You got my number. The sink has been dripping longer then that but we picked up the new faucet Saturday after the drip turned into running water.
