Title: I am King of the Universe
Post by: Dervacumen on October 05, 2006, 12:27:41 pm
So last week my wife says to me:

"I wish you would hurry up and finish your arcade machine so you could bring it in the house and put it  *right there*. " as she points to a recessed section of a wall in our -living room- that conveniently is 7 feet tall, about 3 feet wide, and 2 1/2 feet deep.

Apparently she doesn't like the fact that our young daughter likes to play in that area, and it's fraught with danger: an electrical outlet, uncovered cable outlet, and keyhole for the gas fireplace.  Never mind that I could cove those up in less than 5 minutes.  Don't need to invite that into the discussion.

Ha ha HAAAA!

 :cheers:

You lucky SOB. I had to promise my wife new bedroom furniture to get mine in the house.  :soapbox:

I managed to convince my wife to part with an entire room for the behemoth I built.  It was either that or put it in the middle of her perfectly spaced living room furniture.

Now I've got a room which somehow wound up with the nickname of 'The Man Cave'...which just sounds wrong.  :)

My wife's sitting room as you enter our house ended up being the room where both my pinball and Mame cab reside. To this day she has never said one thing bad about that happening.

The garage is not a bad place to be.
