RE: I got BUSTED today!
I used to build and store my planes in the garage in a small enclave. No biggee, until one day my better half decided to clean the garage. My brother, that particular weekend decided to come down with a few planes that he had gotten. Now I had planes everywhere before I could put them away. She made the mistake of counting 14 planes (Not counting what my brother had brought me(most flyable, other in various stages of build or repair). She didn't seen the kits hidden away in the clutter. She also didn't see all the various engine and radios around the workbench area that was hidden by other stuff. Then she made the mistake of saying she wanted "her" garage back (to store stuff in my building area, i.e Christmas decorations and other stuff from 20+ years of marriage) and her car. As I muttered some silly remark like, "Well , maybe I just need shed" , she looked at me and said "What did I have in mind?" Silly wife, a month later I'm building and storing my planes in a 12'X18' shed with a ceiling height of 12 feet . Of course, some of the area is dedicated to garden tools, but now she has her garage. OK, now I'm up to about 20 planes, some in rafters, some still in kit form, and a lot of them in the homemade rafters. Since I have the only key to the padlock, she never has to know what follows me home. Hope I don't move anytime in the next few years, I'd need a U-Haul for all my stuff.
