just venting some frustration

3 times now my wife has changed her mind on what she wants my cage to look like when im done with it, i have to keep starting over to keep the peace.im at the point where im gonna just nod my head at her then bild it my own way when she aint lookin LOL.
any body else notice it goes much slower when your building a cage for yourself, i have about a mounth of planning and starting on this thing. the last one i built for a freind iggy took me about 6 hrs design and all. well i will see where i can get tommoro

It always seem to take me a long time to finish a cage for me. This set of cages have about 3 months of work into them. Now granted i didnt work on them for more then a few hours at a time but i was getting really picky. I made cages for others in a lot less time.

BTW my girlfriend is the same way about changing the cages. She wanted me to change it like 4 times before i did it myself and left it. I told her if she wants to change them to do it herself, which i know she wont cause she refuses to touch any of my reptiles LOL

Its ok if youre then one changing your mind and taking your time. It defintly is frustrating if its someone else doing it for you. I take my time with all my cages and am very maticulous. And I do a lot of set ups with live plants and molded backgrounds. I couldnt imagine haveing someone else tell me to change it. Oh well. lol. Good luck!

peace,
nate

When I used to do graphic design, my pricing was
$75 pr hour
$100 pr hour if you watch
$200 pr hour if you help

The trick is to work faster than she can change her mind
