I've got a sure fire solution. Just ask your wife "Honey, is there anything I can do to help you around here or some project you'd like done?"

I guarantee you in no time you'll be sneaking down into the basement to resume that project plane. After, that is -

Doing the dishes
cleaning the catbox
sweeping the stairs
vacuuming the carpets
painting the guest bedroom
washing the dog
cleaning the eaves troughs
washing the cars
balancing the clothes drier
sweeping the chimney
washing the windows
hanging the picture of her great aunt in the hallway
caulking the lanoleum in the kitchen at the sliding doors
dusting the livingroon
washing the garbage cans
trimming the dog
hanging the Christmas lights
(or removing the Christmas lights for the other half of the year)
sweeping out the garage
putting up a bookshelf
finding the coffeetable under the R/C magazines
finishing one of those other six planes in the basement . . .
