long story short.... our caravan is poorly... its damp and wood is rotting. DH is going up to the storage place and doing what he can when he can. I've been up helping but the kids get bored and fed up so he's started going on his own.

Anyway, tonight he has said I have to look up things we need to fix it... I said ok what?
1...staple gun (ok that's easy),
2...polystyrene insulation (I ask what size/depth? He says "I don't know, just look it up online and find out how much it is)
3..."That strip that goes along the wall and holds the roof up" (

YANBU he's being a wanker. My DH is handy and makes/fixes stuff. He'd no more ask me to google random fixtures than he''d ask me to make a gazebo!

He'd do it himself!

When he says "Google this..." say NO. Take photos of what you need and take them to B&Q or wherever.

He needs to either learn what he's doing properly or give up.
