Our old house is driving my husband crazy

We've been working on this place so long, I really think it's done my poor hubby in.

    pause...

    When the bathroom's done, take 6 months or so off, and get HEPA air filters for the rooms the husband hangs out in. Give yourself breathing room, literally and figuratively. Go to the movies or whatever. When you're actually working on it, reward yourself in some inexpensive way each time you finish a project. And, maybe the husband should talk to a counsellor about why he might be depressed. Is it just the house?
