Keeping up with the details

One of the things I appreciate about my husband is his attention to detail. He is the most detail-oriented person that I have ever known. We tease him about this...and at times it can be a little annoying (like when we have family time planned, and he is still outside washing the cars or camper...after 8 hours). But...his attention to detail has helped us to keep things a lot longer...and to look like brand new.

He washes a car like no one I have ever seen. He wipes down every part of the car, even those that you cannot see. He does the same with the camper. Many times when he washes a vehicle, it will take him 4 or more hours to wash it. It takes him 4-6 hours to wash the camper. Me--I'd be done in 10 minutes. I do not have the gift of being detail-oriented.

He doesn't only do this with the vehicles; he also carries this on into working on the house, any work he does at his job, and anything else he does. He gives every job he does his most careful attention to detail. I do believe that is one of the reasons he has been so successful. It may take him longer to do it than someone else, but you know it is going to be done right...and even better than right. And...it will look good too.

This is one of the things that I appreciate most about Michael. He certainly picked up this wonderful habit from his dad. His dad would also spend hours cleaning and working on cars, cleaning the house, vacuuming, doing the dishes, and so much more.
