Why has no one mentioned helping him? Get the ladder out, unpack the new fixtures, sort the packaging for recycling, hand him shit so he doesn't have to keep climbing up and down, get rid of the old fixtures afterwards, etc, etc. It'd be fun to do a project together and he doesn't have to do the entire damn thing by himself.
They're all unpacked, ready to go and all his tools are laid out thanks to yours truly 🙃 All he has to do is the actual electrician bit of cutting off the old lights/power supply and reinstalling.
all theses idiots saying he's lazy must not have a physically demanding job im a plumber and put in 60+ hours a week so when i get home i want to relax and my wife understands this even though she will get on me sometimes when it's important. but i will tell you mentioning hiring someone to do it will get the job done because he'll either say go ahead or if he's like me and didnt want to spend money in something he can do himself then he will just do it. also to the idiot thinking oh it only takes thirty minutes per fixture you're also not putting into account the time it takes to unload your tools move then from spot to spot and reload them
op said tools are all ready, and if he that tired he should lie to her. no matter how you spin it he's not doing the right thing.
Just to clarify - this isn't bulb changing. I could do that easily. This is cutting off old, hardwired LED lights and replacing them with a power plug for the new plug in LED lights. Thanks for all the funny answers. Looks like the lights aren't getting done anytime soon though cause our dishwasher has just started leaking (boyfriend is a plumber too). How long do you think it'll take him to fix that? 😂
Keywords
Hire someone to do it. If he gets mad at you, flat out tell him you’re tired of him stalling. Yes, his ego will take a beating but at least you’ll have your lights.
Plan a very romantic dinner at home incl. wearing lingerie to the dining table; then tell him after eating that you've suddenly come down with the "flu" and cancel the rest of the evening. Repeat until new lights are installed.
