I reno'ed a pool over January this year (yeah I know, but earliest I could get him to do it). Sounded like a simple job in tiling a concrete pool and new coping. 4 weeks later finally done. Was on budget though.

Takes a while, probably longer than you expect, and many little milestones but we are here 98.74% complete.

Under no disillusions as to how long this is going to take, having renovated 2 bathrooms and 2 kitchens I'm aware things :

1 - Never go as smoothly as you hope
2 - Never happen as quickly as you hope
3 - Always cost more than you expect
4 - Mrs Boon is extremely impatient
5 - I drink lots
6 - 5 has nothing to do with renovations

My wife and I are best friends but have learnt that we just simply cannot perform tasks together, whenever we have a big job to do we assign roles and don't interfere or offer advice to each other, it's frustrating but it seems to work.

I'm left shaking my head a lot of the times but beer fixes everything.

Same. If I'm doing something at home, the headphones are in and she's asked to stay away and not make any comments on what I'm doing.

My solution to this problem is to not contribute (very much) around home.

We got a 75-25 system for inside, she does 75% of the duties and I do the day to day crap.

I cook most nights and I do ALL of the dishes except when she cooks or prepares the lunches for the week as she manages to use pretty much every pot, pan, steamer, utensil and mixing bowl that we have in the kitchen, this is known as "Sky Racing Channel" time.

I usually just close the bathroom door behind me...

When I cook there is minimal mess and a couple of dishes/pots.
When the missus cooks, much like your better half LM she uses every **** apparatus in the kitchen.
And I can assure you it doesn’t taste any better.

Toasted cheese sandwiches should ONLY be made in a pan.

Sounds like the running sheet for "Today Tonight" or "A Current Affair", without the obligatory 'Another day in Shit Street' neighborhood tiff and someone's life savings being ripped off.
