I just can't believe they bought this thing (who knows for how much), taken the time and fundage to relocate it, and the kicker - they knew in advance they had NO PLACE to store it or rebuild it!!!!!!! Cool guys and all, but WTF were they thinking?

That they really really wanted it and didn't give a flying ---fudgesicle--- what their wives thought.

Apparently his wife is cool with it - she's the one in the pics with the big smile on her face. She must be the coolest wife on the planet.
