My wife ask me to build stuff from there all the time. I say no problem. When she ask what I thing it would cost I allways tell her 3 or 4 hundred dollars. She is a tightass and i know she would never spend that kind of money .

Now we're cooking. Don't forget to include a reasonable hourly wage for your labor, or at least lots of refreshment while you're planning and working on the project.

You sly SOB.......... I'm putting this in my mental library underneath the "Excuses" section.

One inadvertent trick I did learn was to start the project and let it sit unfinished for a month or two. Eventually it becomes "my project" that's scattered on the porch. It usually gives me a few months break from her asking for anything else.

If #1 fails this is also a deterrent for the next project.
