Explain it to her this way. If you hire out with that thing you charge $100 per hour. !0 hours run time is $1000. 13 days of runnint it 10 hours a day and you have your $13K back. Yes of course thats not really true once you figure in the fuel and parts but its close.

Telling her that you bought it for her works but can have some pitfalls. A Farmall Cub once "followed me home from an auction". When my wife asked what I had gotten, I replied, "I bought you a Cub". OK, for three days she was a little "miffed". Then she got on it and rode it around the yard and I haven't been able to get her off of it since.

 Dear MRS. Wayne2 in reply to wayne2, 11-04-2005 18:43:23  
It has come to my attention that you are concerned about a purchase your husband would like to make regarding an excavator. I understand that the cost is substantial and you have control of the funding. Let me assure you this is not on an expenditure but an investment. First, there is the value of knowing where your husband is. How many times have you come in to find him not there? Having an excavator, all you have to do is look out back and know he is not out chasing young women. As he will still be trying to figure out how to run it. Second, It will improve his social life. Within a very short time he will discover that all his so called friends are worthless bums that just want to borrow said excavator. Soon he will be taking you to breakfest, lunch, and/or dinner. Plus all snuggled up to you at night, instead of hanging out with the guys or boozing it up on the porch with his buddies til 2am. Third, Finally brake those annoying family ties. The BIL, FIL, SIL or MIL that you just can't stand and is always talking bout you behind your back will soon be on the outs. As they will not be able to compete with the new found butt kissin affection your husband will have for you. Last but not least, How many times have you just wanted to talk? Just say those four little words "Honey, lets just talk". It may appear to make him cry but those are tears of joy. As he pours out compassion and understanding. There will be no question he is ready to listen as he promply turns of the TV. He may appear to be distracted and looking out the window at the excavator but he's not (if he knows whats good for him anway) as he his concentrating on every uttered word.

Additional benefits - new ties for your car, having mom and sis come stay for a year, a new honey-do list as the current one will suddenly be complete, foot rubs, back rubs, errand boy, and all around fetch it grunt.

One word of advice though - If you do not already have, I spect you do, get yourself a big old cast iron skillet. That way there will be no question when, and/or if, there should be a relapse of any kind.

Sincerely yo- ..... ..... yes dear ..... . your- ..... ..... OK honey ..... I got go!!!!!

Sounds to me like we have a case of idenity loss here. A man would never need to ask a woman for consent to make a purchase that will be used to make live easier for his woman. Besides, isnt a mans home his castle? And woman was made from his rib to care for him and see to his every need??..... ..... ..Oh, oh, gotta go, got an order to make chicken soup cause the little lady of the house isn't feeling well and she wants some.

Simple as this, can you pay for it period or are you borrowing to do it. If the latter then you don't need it as it won't cost the price you mention anyway with the interest. If for few trees definetly not worth it. You better run it to make it pay and it appears that this may be just a play thing for a few trees. It appears as if wife wants money in the bank. Smart lady

If a man knows what he is doing he make a tree fall where he wants with a saw and wedges. An excavator will only get you in more trouble. Listen to your wife.

Now wait Charlie, with those dimensions, it looks like you could just about cover your whole lot under roof. That's a no lose situation. No flooding, no snow, nothing EVER left out in the sun to fade the paint, the shingles on the house will last forever, I just can't see the down side. Harley

Wayne2, To get the ok to add machinery (toys) to your place first you have to convince sweet thang that you are trying to obtain an asset for your help in making your place pristine and safe from dead falls. Once you set the thought in motion you start mentioning how much you (might) be able to make by doing side work with both of yours new asset. Then along the way start mentioning how expensive you have seen this type of excavator selling for and it would be a shame to miss this terrific buy. (the ladies love a bargain). You may want to play the game but the truth is, that if you go at it right you can sell the thing for what (or nearly) you paid for it and the work done just cost you your time, maintenance and fuel. They understand alright but their being thrifty is another reason we love em. We just have to learn to explain things better.
