RE: In the doghouse...
Ditto here Commander Drake. Building, assembling, or tinkering is half the fun. And my wife recognizes the enjoyment I get out of the hobby. The only ground to tread lightly on is the money. I buy plenty of new stuff when I can. But I also like to buy things used, whenever I find a bargain. I show my wife how much I saved versus new. Being a big time coupon clipper, she respects that. And that's the way I like it - her only clipping coupons![&:]
