Home renovations

I have a jar that sits on top of our microwave labeled "Backsplash Fund."  Every time I have a $5 bill in my possession, I put it in the jar.  I started it at the end of February and am hoping that, by the time next February comes around, I'll have enough in there for a decent project.  To me, you need to maintain your home as much as possible through regular maintenance, upkeep, checks, and upgrades in order to keep it livable.  I've seen too many homes in my family go to pot because no one was willing to lift one finger to even clean it.  I was telling my husband about this today and mentioned that I was always afraid to use the bathroom at my grandfather's house growing up because it was beyond gross.  Just...yuck.  Anyway, both of our sinks in the master bathroom need to be replaced.  My husband says he can do it with my father-in-law.  My gut tells me that if they do it, it probably will look like two people that didn't know exactly what they were doing did it.  That's absolutely not what I want.  I said that to my husband and he was beyond hurt.  I'm grateful that he'd be willing to tackle such a big project, but really?  It's not up his alley.  If he took the time to educate himself in what needs to be done, that would be another story, but he won't.  He'll just take his dad's lead and go from there.  What would you do in this situation with your spouse?

So, beyond the sinks, I'm crossing my fingers that I'll eventually get our bedroom finished with painting and get new doors for our bedroom.  Guess I'll have to start another jar for those doors!
