Why DIY with My Wife Was a Bad Idea!

[@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT]

Just remember, before you cast judgement about me losing composure, this is 30 seconds of frustration that I've shown everyone. Which equates to 0.00000001% of mine and Lou's life together. Lots of people don't show you the bad and the ugly on social media. I'm just keeping it real and being authentic

[@bapoo]

Mate my wife and i sometimes have exactly the same sort of carry on with our self build project. It’s often stressful and none of it is meant to be personal but sometimes my comments end up being. The trouble with doing this with your spouse is that it tests your dynamic at the toughest of times. In the end we always bounce off it and never look back. Seeing it for what it is and realising we aren’t perfect is key. As people keep telling us, and you i’m sure - it’ll all be worth it in the end! Well done for showing people reality, can tell you two are bombproof.

[@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT]

@@bapoo thanks mate 👍

[@normanboyes4983]

Well said. These sort of evolutions are always fraught even if it is with an unrelated assistant. You have invested all the thinking time to come up with the solution and the game plan for implementing it, often over several weeks - and the assistant essentially just does not have the benefit of that deep understanding - just your communicated direction. Communication is difficult because it is not only transmission it also needs hearing and understanding.😀👍

[@selflession]

I'm not sure the way to reacted was really that bad to be fair. Seemed like you guys were all good in the end anyway and hey that's what relationships are all about. Every relationship has arguments and disagreements and self building as you are is a real test. My misses got fed up with having to pick out bathroom furniture etc and just picked the same stuff for a few bathrooms and now doesn't like it but it's tough. I've installed some of it and will try and sell the rest but if I can't then she's stuck with it. To be fair if I'd had to pick then I'd probably just have gone for cheap everything so kind a glad I didn't as spending a bit more does get you a bit better quality. Anyway another great video as always, looking forward to seeing how you both progress.

[@Louis_harp2016]

Lou here, I’m not the best DIY person but I’m happy to give it a go ☺️ just got it wrong this time. I deal with traders getting frustrated with developers implementing bananas instead of apples all the time, not forgetting when I worked on the trading floor, so no need to call HR 😅. Aiden is super cute all the time, so one little moan is fine by me. I’d love to get more involved in our home build, hopefully you’ll see more of me as we get stuck in, have to say though knocking down walls is more my kind of thing 🔨 😬

We have been together 25 years, so you can imagine how many times this has happened! Keep on keeping on 😀

That looks top notch mate! Definitely worth the extra time and effort. We’ve all been frustrated doing fiddly jobs like this so things can get tense. Me and my wife had a falling out when she tried to help me put the feet on our new fridge freezer early on in our relationship, she was doing the opposite to what I explained and I angrily asked her if she was doing it on purpose, had to finish the job on my own

Hi Aiden, always love your videos. This one was a difficult watch. Frustration gets the better of all of us from time to time but it’s never nice to see a man verbally losing it with the one he loves. It’s like seeing someone kick their dog. Hats off to Lou for giving it another go and possibly facing another barrage of flack. Maybe video you apologising to her for all the swearing? Patience is a virtue we should all try to achieve. All the best.

[@Louis_harp2016]

I can think of worse things! Like having to watch another Dan and Sam 🫣 (a social media influencer couple that have gone viral with their constant clickbait captions). Personally, it makes me feel so uncomfortable just watching them. It just doesn’t feel natural or sincere, surely no couple is that perfect all the time?! I think there are worse things than Aiden letting off a bit of steam. It's a glimpse of reality, and no one under pressure can always keep their cool

[@simonparris3829]

Im completing an extension, having built my house before I met my wife. The stress and constant explaining now is too much. When you realise it’s down to you only, and don’t bother asking her,it’s a lot easier. Sometimes I spend ages making up an apparatus to carry out a task which could be done by two PRACTICAL people. Believe me I have learnt. Keep up the good work. It is hard at times, however very satisfying when done.

The most relatable video ever. The few times I've had to rope mrs TaZ into a job, I apologise both before and after for the things I may or may not say to her. She gets it, she's knows I like things done a certain way and I'm very particular and that anything I say during her doing it ever so slightly different is not meant with any malice and it's just my stress and frustration letting itself out. We are always totally fine with each other once the task is done, it's just the way it is. Glad you managed to get it sorted, Lou did a fine job imo. (the 2nd time)

[@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT]

Yeah it wasn't an issue afterwards. Ironically the negative comments from men that were offended on her behalf were actually the thing that she found offensive. I had to delete them all because she was getting upset. We've been messing about since, swearing at each other and saying we will set the KZbin police on to the other.

[@imaginitivity7853]

The main issue is that after all, you're always the only one to know about and notice these imperfections. There's always going to be some. Sometimes perfection can be the enemy of good. And with limited time and energy available accepting a quicker less good, but semi temporary finish might be the better option.

Great job, looks fantastic oh, I would be the same in terms of OCD too!

Aiden, sorry mate, last post. Cosidering that most bulk chemicals are manufactured in China ( Hundreds of thousands of tons in bulk containers ). Why do we pay in the UK, basically £10 for 50ml of epoxy glue ( Araldite as an example ), when the stuff purchased in bulk is a fraction of the price. ( Used many variants in my job ). Not kidding Aiden, buisiness opportunity for an alternative outlet, bigger, affordable, fixed ratio packages for DIY. Just a thought, although Burtons Strong Ale lubricates the thought process. All the best.

I reckon the problem was you are seeking perfection - which is understandable, you want it to look good - but the process was difficult because of the size of the materials & using contact adhesive. To expect an inexperienced person to do that was never gonna work. Car crash DIY.....swearing....tears.....divorce. Perhaps keep such complicated jobs for when you have someone who can handle quite complex fitting. Not fair to take it out on someone who was trying to help. I'm sure you couldn't help it, the stress got too much and you had to take it out on someone or something, else you would have exploded. But not fun for anyone. But on a positive note you got the job done. Looks really good btw. 👍

Hi Aiden, keep up the good work. Here's my tip. Having worked in the aerospace industry and access, lets leave it there, Acid Etch Epoxy Primer ? ( two pack, mainly used on Aluminium et al ). If only I could get hold of it now. Works on softwood, ( one coat ) seals the grain/end grain. Can be overcoated, not had any problems with Sadolin. I still to this day have offcuts of projects primed with this stuff, intended for bonding or painting, fresh as the day it was applied. It obviously resists degradation, apart from the epoxy film applied, might be the Strontium Chromate yellow pigment, who knows ? Up to my bollocks at the mo with a builder that bailed ( "I'll see you in court " ), fucking amateur scum ! ( should have seen the knucle scraping application of my epdm flat roof ) and a wife that considers I over engineer everything. No contest, not changing for anyone. There's the door, Fuck'em.

All good and well, but why you are building a church 😂😂😂😂

Sorry Aiden, in relation to the theme DIY with my Wife. Word to the wise, If you think you have a handle on the progress of your project ( technically ). Preoccupied by level, square and to the millimeter, your, ( mine ) wife just wants the project fucking finished. I'm already getting vibes for divorce so that she can get a kitchen fitter in ( Lithuanian in this case ). So close to divorce and yet so far. Lithuania, that is.

Mu wife is not allowed in the building site. It is a big NO NO! No need to swear at all!
