Popular Post Foxfold Posted January 25, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) When I joined in August last year, about 5 months ago, I'd bought a little pin-end saw from Aldi a couple of weeks before. I was so happy with my new hobby that my other half gave me a 4ft x 3ft corner of his 'man cave'. But having joined this group and seen what could be done with a 'different' saw, I bought one of those too. Well I kind of 'outgrew' my 4'x3' space but didn't like to ask for more as 'sharing' his man cave was something totally new to Tony. However, it's not gone unnoticed that I'm quite 'smitten' with this 'scrolling lark' so he let me expand and has even put cupboards on the wall for me to keep my stuff in. I love him lots Edited January 25, 2019 by Foxfold Dave Monk, bobscroll, frankorona and 15 others 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Scrappile Posted January 25, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 My wife and I share space for our hobbies. I get one room in the house for my woodworking she gets the rest of the HOUSE for her quilting!! meflick, Foxfold, stoney and 7 others 3 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockytime Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Your workspace looks great! It looks very comfortable. My shop is a 8X14 foot room partitioned off inside the garage. That leaves 1/2 of the garage for her car along with room for her snow shovels. Sometimes I think I'm too good for that lady.

heppnerguy Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 nice to have hobbies that both enjoy, even if they are different hobbies. So happy for you that you have continued to pursue your new found fun. Keep up the good work and who knows perhaps by next Christmas, Tony will be building you your own add on or building where you can expand as you wish,, Dick heppnerguy Foxfold 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because I'm a nice old lady and remember these things. It was quite a common saying when I was growing up and it kinda stuck although my grandkids think I'm crazy !!

loftyhermes Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Nice space there Brenda. It's a long time since I've heard anyone other than me utter that phrase, which makes it doubly funny here because we live in a bungalow. bobscroll and Foxfold 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jollyred Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 We built a laundry room off the kitchen so my wife didn't need to go up and down stairs. Now I have the whole basement for my shop. I'm so good to my wife. Lucky2, bobscroll, Foxfold and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Well your heading certainly made me smile, I have not heard it for years. I also like 'My giddy aunt' I could do with my own shed now but we have no where to put one so I have the back corner of the garage but I do spread out and use Terry's work bench when he's not got stuff spread all over it. Do you a place for everything and everything in it's place? I do, then I know where to find it. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomanydogs Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 I had to look up the meaning since I had never heard the expression before "I'll go to the foot of our stairs" -means-An exclamation of surprise.

Yesterday Tony said ''come see what I've done'' and when I saw my 'corner' this is what I said, so I thought it very apt for a 'title' Edited January 26, 2019 by Foxfold meflick and Tomanydogs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
