Yes, grude, you need a garage, preferably detatched from the house, mine is about 30 yards away. A sacred man-cave where all manly things are kept. I built one a few years ago and it is awesome.
It is where I can keep the car, car trophies, extensive tool collection, beer, smoke, fishing and hunting stuff. It is not yet wired for the flat screen TV, but I do have the man-chair.
My wife is welcome to visit me in my natural environment but rarely does. What is not welcome or allowed are non-man things; christmas tree ornaments, old exercise equipment, furniture we might need again someday, luggage, etc. She has the whole attic and a spare room full of such stuff. I made it clear before we built the garage that it wasn’t going to be a ‘stuff storage’ area.
The inside of the house is her domain, the garage is mine. Building the garage was actually her idea, she loves me I guess. Separate space makes for a happy marriage.
That does sound wonderful, Dallas. I’d build one myself but I can’t find any of my bloody tools.
I support this Pitting. For several years I did highly technical work and could find the book or paper I was looking for within seconds, despite that it would be near the middle of one of several huge helter-skelter-looking stacks. Not any more. Mrs. Septimus likes to rearrange my books and papers “neatly.” Her own filing system is suboptimal; once her driver’s license and other purse valuables went missing for a frantic week until she found them … in the very place she’d hid them. Just yesterday, she asked me whether a can of soup she’d just found in our food closet had expired or not. Yeah, it expired … in 2004. :smack:
Despite all this, she’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me! 
What pisses me off is when my wife says, “I’m out of hand lotion”, which we then proceed to buy, but the next time we clean house we find four or five half-full bottles of hand lotion in various nooks and crannies throughout the house. I truly believe that if the apocalypse came, we could hold on for a good 4-6 weeks on the snacks and bottles of water that are under furniture, behind appliances, etc.
