Saw a piece on HOA delays... such a pain.

My uncle wanted to help me rewire a lamp last year, but he kept getting distracted by his phone. His heart was in the right place, but I was worried about safety with all the loose wires. I ended up asking him to just hand me tools instead of doing any actual electrical work. That way he felt involved, but the skilled part was still done carefully. Isn't it better to find a role for them that doesn't put the project at risk? Now I always make clear rules about who does what before starting any work with family.
