I find if I appeal to my husband's enjoyment of using tools, it helps. Some projects are too artistic but if it involves power tools or feats of strength, and I "ask his opinion" he gets involved rather quickly. You need to play to his strengths. If I walk past my husband with the power drill, he will ask me what I am doing.

no idea! Any home value to the project- tax savings etc? Is he motivated by "done" "Pride"
Find projects that he will like..and get interested in HIS projects too
Bribery, need a great reward
