Can you help me bury a body?

[NewOrleans]

I am going to execute my husband.

I want woodwork around the house. He took shop class in high school 20 years ago and thinks he is Jesus the carpenter. I wanted a professional. He got up in his feelings about it. The work is now getting done by a professional.

Meanwhile, I painted the bedroom.

So now it's time to paint the master bath, but we decided to,get a new light first. While I was looking, I saw this picture and thought shiplap on the vanity wall would look really nice and isn't expensive and it is a small area. I also thought we could remove the big standard mirror (the Internet tells me you can cut and frame these easily and thriftily.)

So I asked him if he would do the shiplap (Jesus the carpenter, remember? ) and he said there's not enough room for it, so I presented the mirror plan which will make room. He promptly lost all his shit on me, thinks taking the mirror down is a bad idea, thinks spending any money in a room you barely spend time in is stupid, etc.

TL;DR
"I CAN DO ALL YOUR INTRICATE WORDWORK FOR CHEAP!!! WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HIRING SOMEONE?!"
Hey, can you do some woodwork on this small wall?
"FUCK NO I CAN'T! I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT, IT WILL COST MONEY, AND ALSO IT IS STUPID."

Would the shiplap go with anything else in your house? I'm not a big fan personally.

But your carpenter husband needs to remember this "happy wife = happy life."

[sfy]

From my experience watching the ID channel forever and a day, burying is not the way to go. Dismemberment is what you want.



Also, I love shiplap, but I agree, does it make sense? Because original is best.

Nah. It's just one bathroom wall.  It just would look nice with the beautiful color I picked!

[josieposy]

I had to google shiplap. I learned something today!

[penguingrrl]

I'll help you bury the body! Also, that wall you put the pic of is gorgeous! Totally adding it to my list of ideas for my house!

[UMaineTeach]

Time to go it alone!

Power nailer and you're done in an hour.

[jeaniebueller]

Yeah I thought shiplap was a typo, but then when everyone else was like, oh yeah shiplap, I realized I was the dummy.

See my picture in OP.

I love that picture, and I bet you could do it yourself. And because I'm a stubborn ass, that's exactly what I'd want to to if my h reacted like yours, lol.

It looks neat on the ceiling. I should do that in the bathroom too just for spite.

[MrsAxilla]

Wood in a bathroom seems odd to me. Won't it warp or get gross from the shower steam? It does look cool, though.

[Deleted]

Apparently you people who don't know what shiplap don't watch Fixer Upper - lol. Joanna loves it!

WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON HEIFER???

[WOT?*]

Chip and Joanna Gaines strikes again.
Muuuuust haaaaaave shiplap. Shiiiiplaaaap.

(Sorry, HGTV is my thing. Walking dead is my husband's.)

ETA: I'd go with chemicals in a barrel. Much less left to identify. (Also a fan of the true crime channels and Forensic Files.)

[taratru]

J and I are dying here. He says do it yourself.

[statlerwaldorf]

Whelp now you have to shiplap the whole house.

[ringstrue]

Is that really shiplap in the picture? It looks imitation.

I need to hold your hand for a minute. Fixer Upper made this look cute. It's a great way to deal with rehabilitating older homes in a ... quieter .... part of Texas, for pretty cheap. I cannot imagine this will be an awesome style in a few years. Those homes can just put up dry wall again. I dunno if your bathroom would be able to be reverted as easily.

I'm sorry I ruined our friendship.

[KateAggie]

Can we do a 2 for 1. Mine wants to die in all sorts of ways today.

[josieposy]

I only watch HGTV on blood donation days at the Red Cross okay?!!

[vanillacourage]

This is why my husband is no longer allowed to DIY. It's just better for all involved (including our marriage) if we throw $ at it and let the professionals make it awesome. 

I have another pic of paneling saved. Let me look on Pinterest and find it.
