She told me to screw the canvas stretcher into the frame from behind, but of course as the screw touched the canvas frame it pushed the painting out rather than enter the wood. I tried to drill holes into the frames but even the drill bit pushed the canvas frame out of place. After a few iterations we finally got the job done.

While I lost my patience, I told her “You should have married a carpenter!” to which she responded “I should have married a MUTE!”

Not PC but a good comeback I must say.
