My darling DH hates to do nothing ... he always has to do something ... can't sit still for a minute (therefore he is great round the house because if he is bored all the ironing gets done )
The problem is is that he doesn't think things through and although mostly everything he does he does well, he doesn't prepare properly for projects he is doing ... for example he will not wear old clothes for painting jobs and then will get white emulsion on his best fleece ... that sort of thing.
Anyway, today we decided that he needed to clean the outside of one side of our house as we are about to put it on the market and it was a bit green from a long wet NZ winter (occupational hazard of living in this country - damp!!!). He did a great job and the house is now sparkling white again. BUT ... he used a special mildew stuff that is mainly bleach ... DID HE USE RUBBER GLOVES??? No!!! He started off with gardening gloves and it soaked through so he discarded them and finished the job with bare hands!
So ... now his fingertips are red raw ... very very tender and painful ... and he can't do anything at all!
I am really cross with him for being so silly ....
Has anyone got any ideas on how to help him ... I know he is a lost cause re. the DIY but what is the best thing to put on his fingers to make them less sore?
Oh, and has he damaged himself permanently??
Sorry for long post ...
