Oh yes, I know that scenario well. My BIL is the same way. My sister and I have a running joke ... whenever one of us mentions some project or idea we look at each other and say, "Nope. Can't be done." because that is her husband's knee-jerk reaction to ANYthing she proposes.
And have you ever noticed that the ONLY thing that lights a fire under them IS proposing to hire a professional to do it instead? I sometimes just get a free quote, and "accidently" leave it laying on the kitchen counter. The project gets done the next weekend. Of course, I have to hear about how he did it himself and saved us umpteen gazillion dollars that I would have spent hiring it done. Ok, honey, yeah sure fine, you're right.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
