What about suggesting he use textured subway tile wallpaper rather than real tile to save a ton of costs and time?
That sucks though.
One thing I discovered that might be helpful: demand the spouse help on the project. It might help to scuttle some future projects, or at least offer enough help to get through the project quickly.
A few months ago, my wife was demanding certain investigation for repairs or upgrades and I was at wits end in dealing with it along with a few other projects. I said it'd be fine as long as she called around for a few quotes... it's been beautiful silence since then.
