Girl, I hear you. My husband is the same. Really great work but SOOOOOO slow as he thinks everything through.
That is my husband, to a T. LOL Like he thinks he's going faster than he is as well and definitely miscalculates how long something will take (because, again, he wants to make sure everything is flawless and fitting like a glove). He also misjudges how loud something is so I'm constantly telling him, as it moves into the evening, that he needs to be mindful of the older people living next door. He's like "I'M NOT BEING AS LOUD AS YOU THINK!" ....meanwhile I take the dog out for a walk and I can hear it outside, across the road in the field....lol My husband was literally working through the pipework and how it would go and talking TO the pipes last night (I snapchatted my friend the video because I was laughing telling him it was like watching A Beautiful Mind in real time).

When we moved into our house and got our blinds and curtains, my girlfriend and I were having so much fun with it. I'd text when he started and give status updates. He measured and such so much that it took TWO HOURS to hang the curtain rod. TWO HOURS! But it is perfect and no extra holes were drilled and an elephant could hang from it and not pull it from the wall.
hahahahaha I can totally see this happening to me!! I was sending my friend updates yesterday
It took SEVEN weekends to tile our backsplash. SEVEN WEEKENDS.
You'll be soo happy when it's done! Have you picked tiles yet?
Yeahhhhhh, in my opinion a BACKSPLASH just shouldn't take that long! But I guarantee my husband could definitely make that happen as well haha.
Yeah I know I will be SO pleased when it's done and we compare the before/after photos. We picked out tiles VERY last minute. Another IA, I guess, is that we ordered this panelling for £500-ish. Was going to make everything really simple/easy. Reviews were good and they praised themselves for having tiles "so realistically tile looking that guests won't believe it's not". Yeah. Got a call from Rik on Friday to essentially say "panelling looks sh*t." and we both said "screw it, let's just get tile." Learning from our last bathroom renovation, we were trying to avoid dark and matted tile and we wanted BIG ones to make it easier. Do you know how hard that seems to be to find?! Ended up finally finding some that would work at B&Q on Friday night at like 7:30 (got in and paid just before the place shut I think hah). I now have to WFH tomorrow so they can collect the panelling. Will be a lot more arduous doing tiles but will look SO much nicer in the end. Not decided yet if we're doing full-wall or up to the windowsill with the shower enclosure being done completely.
