It could be also that you don’t mind the process of ideation and work on shaping your ideas. My wife is like that too - but she wants a second opinion from a professional.

I wonder how you managed your stress levels during this period, coping with your job, home schooling and passion project?

I've done a bunch of remodelling, so I don't find it too stressful. Also I have a background in construction/trades, which probably helps.

I certainly recognize the phrase from a professional -- this is usually quite important to my wife as well. I'm less concerned with it.

What part of your remodel did you find most stressful?​

Feigning interest in certain aspects of the decor when I don’t really care haha

I don’t mind visiting various lighting shops with my wife to have a broad base for comparison and select the ones that would fit our house best. But I draw the line at things like switches. My wife got angry with me when I couldn’t passionately discuss with her the merits and demerits of various switch models. Geez, a switch is a switch. I don’t care about the colour or whether it is longer and feels better to press!

Oh my. Feels better to press is definitely a level of care deeper than I generally go. I will say that I notice my relationship with my wife always gets a little taught when we do remodel projects...so perhaps I am wrong that they aren't stress inducing.

You seem like a pro.

How often do you do remodel projects?

Once in a lifetime is enough for me!
