To be honest, it sounds like he's just bored now that he's semi-retired.
Initially, he did get a bit bored. But not these days. Since he "retired" five years ago, he did a three month stint working in the same industry, and another nine month gig. That leaves four years of "not working". Out of those four years, we have renovated (or had a major part in helping to renovate) four houses.
I don't know how hubby had time to work and we are finally getting things done in our own house that have needed doing for years.
The contents of our cupboards are spread over the living room. New cupboard doors go in tomorrow and new carpets on Tuesday. I've been painting the walls where we ripped out the old cupboards yesterday. There is always "something" to do.
We are in the throes of having four townhouses drawn up. We may build them or I guess we may sell the block with DA (if we can get approval). If we do go ahead and get them built we may project manage, but even if we pay someone to do this, we will be busy with this project.
We've just completely gutted and renovated a house for our middle son, and now helping to do the same for the oldest son. Before he sold and moved back in with us, we helped him finish off his house in order to sell it.
Bored... don't think so We've had the keys to a relative's beach house for three weeks, but haven't had time to get there.
