Subject: RE: BS: advice for SO of a procrastinator?
Mu husband is a bit of a procrastinator....the closet he promised to build me 6 years ago is still waiting to be built. *Sigh*

Actually, he isn't bad about most things...just runs out of time. The important things that get put off are brought to his attention without nagging...more of a matter of factly kind of discussion.

One time he waited too long. We had a deck that was in need of repair. I went out one blustery, blue skyed day to hang wash on the line (which is just off the deck). I stepped out onto the deck and one leg went through the deck. I was trapped there for a bit as I couldn't get my leg back up without running the wood into my leg fish hook style. Luckily there was something nearby that I could pry the board off with or I would have sat on the porch all day in my nightgown, bleeding and freezing to death (it was in the 30's). He felt bad that he hadn't gotten around to it sooner and promptly made the repairs. It's a heck of a way to get something done, but that sure did the trick.
