Just checking, are you talking about accomodating the wife or the pinball machine?
TopJimmyCooks:
either way works.

When it comes to your wife, there is no winning, only various states of losing.
the best way for anything wife related is to make it her idea.
I wanted a big screen TV in the bedroom. not gonna happen. but, allow me to explain. our TV stopped working. perfect. typical bad caps, not turning on etc. papa wants a new TV...
gotta broken TV honey, need to buy a new one... thumbs up!

Me: (after unpacking the new TV) now what?
Her: (points) you need to get rid of this broken ass TV
M: okay
H: take it out to the garage and then take it out friday (our garbage day)
M: okay

so i drag it out there and change a few caps in it and it fires back up again...
LATER IN THE WEEK:
--- Quote ---Her: it's garbage day tomorrow make sure you get that broken TV out there.
Me: right...yeah...I..uhm...took that TV apart and fixed it.
H: wut?
M: yeah.
H: ...
M: ... (stupid look)
H: ... (stupider look)
*proceed to make stupid faces at each other.* (I won)
Her: so...it works?
Me: yeah I suppose you could say it that way.
H: so why the hell did we buy a new TV?!
M: cause the one we had was broken?
H: well...christ!
M: ...
H: so why again did we buy a new TV?!
M: cause the one we had was broken.
H: yeah i got that...
M: a better question is, what the hell are we going to do with that one now?
H: ... *look of disapproval*
M: upgrade? ;D
H: what are you talking about? why?!
M: because I can. (proceed to place said TV onto my desk as if to hook this ridiculously large "monitor" to my computer...)
H: FORGET IT!
M: what do you suggest then?

and that is how I got a big screen in the bedroom. ;D
TL:DR: I got what I wanted because it was all her idea.
