Well I'm going to use the "savings" argument as part of my pitch and see how it goes. In the end I think we'll end up compromising and I'll enclose part of the back deck. As far as telling instead of asking or doing what I like because I pay the bills, I realize those suggestions were probably half in jest but I couldn't live with a woman who didn't expect decisions like this to be made cooperatively. And I'd rather smoke outside, give up a few bad weather days or weeks of smoking, if it means coming back in to a happy wife.
