You bet, always glad to share experiences. After all, my wife for as much as I love the woman, sometimes just doesn't see the end result when compared against the effort to get there and assumes there shouldn't be a lot of cleanup or potential painting to be done once I've made the mess. However, I think she really understands now that I involved her and made her actually look at the situation and appreciate the issues. So, there was less grumbling when all was completed and she was happy with the end result.
