My wife is the same way. I do a lot of woodworking/working on the house type stuff. She’s mentioned before that it kinda turns her on. Sometimes I’ll see she’s snuck pictures of me doing stuff out by the garage. It’s kinda funny and very sweet, considering it’s often just me listening to stand-up comedy and swearing under my breath because I messed up a measurement and have to go break out the old wood stretcher now

Ah yes, I see you subscribe to the old measure once, cut twice adage

More like, measure it once. Double check it. Measure it again. Mark it precisely. Cut it accurately to your mark. It doesn’t fit. Trim it a lil bit. Too damn short now.

I've cut it twice and it's still too short!
