So upset, I need to VENT!!!

I'd probably grab a shovel and go in there and tell him to get up, buster. We're going to get this done together, or we're calling a plumber, it's as simple as that. If he won't budge, I'd go to mom and dad's until he got it fixed.

I might even try to get out there and dig myself until he finally felt so guilty, that he got up and said, "Okay, I'll take care of it."

Personally, I never had a problem like this. My hubby fixes emergency type things. He does leave other things undone that frustrate me, but then I do the same, so can't call the kettle black on this one.

Wishing you well and hope it all works out soon, you deck get's back together and you can enjoy a quite evening with lemonade on the deck!!!
