I have to check out the noise at o-dark-thirty, because I am the one in the house who's been rabies-proofed. I will give the automobiles, though. I live under the delusion that my car is a special car that never needs oil. But for DH, and his odd urge to clean and maintain the cars, I would be driving a blue-smoking car with "wash me" written in the dust, with half-flat tires, and two thousand auto-bots in the back seat.

Who does the yard work? Car repairs, even it if's just taking them to the mechanic and waiting for hours? House painting and maintenance? Oil changes and lube work? Snow-shoveling? Furniture and appliance moving and repairs? Barbecuing? Spider-killing? Garbage removal? Garage organizing? Fence building?

There are hundreds more things that I do around the house, like installing window hardware, the most-hated of all, that never seem to "count" in these surveys, which seem to be limited to certain parts of the home.
