Remodeling!

[tonypgst]

Well, yesterday I caused my wife a bit of concern. I've taken over yet another room in the house. You see, my place has always been my office and the garage. I've now added to this by taking over our storage room, which was her scrapbooking area. She was spending little time there and it was turning into her junk room, so I helped out by giving it a good cleaning. It is a nice area with good lighting and has cabinets with counter tops for workspace. To say the least, her scrapbooking supplies are now stored out of my way and I have setup my soldering station, parts bins, etc. to prepare for building my 10 Ren16s. I'm fully prepared with parts and now a work area to get this year started.

Bottom line, my wife thinks I'm going to extremes. She never thought how involved this whole process is and still questions why I'm so obsessed with the planning and preparations so far away from Christmas. In her eyes, this is just another outlet to apply my bit of OCD. Wait until I tell her she cannot park in the garage until setup is complete!

Yeah, my wife should know better by now. Everything I do is taken to the extreme. I always get fully involved in my hobbies to the point that it annoys her. I try to get her involved, but it usually just results in her muttering something about being a geek as she walks away. :)

I know I am gone a lot for work but.. Are you Married to my wife? :) I actually brought her in here tonight and said you have to read this! ITS NOT JUST ME! Great stuff.. I figured her car gets parked outside sometime in October to start setting things up in there before moving everything outside.

I consider it reinforcement for my arguement that our next house must have a 3 car garage. When we purchased our current house in 2004, I almost had her convinced to get the house with the 3 car garage. It didn't work out because she didn't like the look of the front of the house. Now we have our eye on new construction with a one car garage in a courtyard layout with the traditional two car garage on the opposite side of the house. She is more open to the idea now. :)

Not only do we have an oversized 3 car garage, but we then built a 1350 sq. ft. workshop to hold all my C * * P (stuff). Then, when that wasn't enough, built a 300 sq. ft. addition on to the back of it for all my outdoor C * * P (stuff). Bout got that one filled too..... what to do next........??? LOL

Yup! Duplex! Upward! Preferrably cantelevered so it's bigger than what's under it. Don't forget steel and carriages for the crane, and lot's of power!

Do you adopt?

[rstehle]

I make it a practice to only adopt rich kids. That way we can continue to accumulate more C * * P (stuff). :D Are you rich......?

[Jeff Millard]

Are you rich......?

No, I'm jeff...

Yuk Yuk;)

[rstehle]

But.......are you rich Jeff.......:D

[Jeff Millard]

Nope, but I am Jeffrey Edward, there are no riches in my family that I know of.

That's a shame...... we have an opening for a rich kid......:D

I think we are all a little OCD when it comes to Xmas lights otherwise we all wouldn't be here!

By the way I'm rich...well that's my name anyways. I wish I was rich!

Oh and I have a three car garage but my Jeep is in one stall with Christmas junk piled on top and my wife's car is in the second stall(at least until Thanksgiving... Shhhhh.. don't tell her!), and you guessed it, a bunch of Xmas light stuff will have a permanent spot in the third stall until I can figure out how to stuff it in somewhere else in the shed or some other nook in my garage. LOL

Right now the christmas stuff resides in the 20'X40' polebarn, but it has a dirt floor which hopfully will get cemented this summer. Then the Harley and the wifes rice burner can go in there along with the boat. That will give me the 2 car garage to stage my Chrismas assault from. I figure I can assemble boards and such in the ham shack since I haven't really used the radio equipment in almost a year. Hmmm this thread is making me glad I dont have a job or I wouldn't have time for my hobbies.
