No pics of the drywall job to show your wife?
The way I see it was just practice for your own job.

Ya, I took a pic. Homeowner made me, so I could show my Wife. lol She also told me to tell my Wife she was lucky to have a man that was handy and helpful like that around the house . She just about choked when I told her lol.
About procrastination etc, it's actually funny. I really enjoy doing drywall, and mudding etc. It's actually one of my favourite parts of doing renos, second only to not doing renos. Regarding my own basement, it's all the other stuff I have to do before I get to the drywall part that I've been putting off. Wife see's the walls up, and thinks it's go time. I have to hang boxes, pull wire, hang light fixtures, etc. The panel is full, so I have to pull out all the old baseboard circuits, and strip them back to make room......Drywall is the easiest part......It's actually only 4 sheets.

Pretty impressive Dan.
I pride myself on my caveman status. I've have been hauling stuff home, taking over more and more of the house and buying excessively large bulk lots for 25 years and never feared domestic unrest, retribution or revolt.
But heading out to do home improvements at another woman's house? I don't think I'd attempt that, my hats to you.

To boldly go where no man has gone before
I have found new limits. Expand those boundaries Gentleman!

My wife would castrate me if I ever headed out to work on anything in another woman's house. She has green eyes. Green lightning bolts explode from them when I glance sideways at a strange woman on the street let alone attempting to follow her home or drywall anything for them. It just wouldn't happen and I know better than to even try.
