Then she wasn't impressed when I started sanding a wheel in the kitchen with the electric sander... I'm prepping some wheels I have for my van.

    Each time I do something and she moans I tell her I'm gonna sell the house to get my money back so I can buy my own place so I can do this type of stuff without getting moaned at. It shuts her up. God she must love me hahahaha

    Thats right, put your foot down with a firm hand

    I hope Natalie dose not see this

    Although, I know most members on hear are hard working highly intelligent people who are always willing to help others so I would say our women folk have done rather well for them selves. They should really appreciate us and help out more often, that wheel would have come up quiker with 2 working on it.

    Now I really hope she don't not read this

          So, what's the compromise? Do you sleep in a pink bedroom or something?

          Only crimes i committed which did not pass my board of directors was working on (cleaned) dirt bikes inside the kitchen...

          But i agree, paint does not cure very well in the garage with these conditions...

                We've got a brand new quattro prismatic strip and boot spoiler under the bed, and various rare quattro parts, including refurbished rear callipers in the airing cupboard... The car parts stored around this house have been there for so long, we don't even bat an eyelid... Mind, I do get moaned at if I make the (white!) towels dirty after degreasing parts in the Kitchen sink. Worst I did was roll a layshaft across our pine kitchen table a few years ago... It added an interesting pattern and regular talking point at meal times... Fortunately a shiny new kitchen at xx thousand pounds saw the table burned and the habitual reminders soon forgotten. Every collaborative venture has to include a compromise.
