Popular Post Foxfold Posted January 25, 2019 Popular Post Report 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 Ivan Nikolaev, bobscroll, loftyhermes and 15 others 18 Quote

dgman Posted January 25, 2019 Report Posted January 25, 2019 Nice looking space Brenda. Soon you will be needing your own “She Shed”! Foxfold, bobscroll and RabidAlien 1 2 Quote
Rockytime Posted January 25, 2019 Report 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. bobscroll, Falcon, Foxfold and 2 others 2 3 Quote
bobscroll Posted January 25, 2019 Report Posted January 25, 2019 That's a nice old saying on top of your post Brenda! You are lucky to have such a great hubby...Who understands you and your needs, Thanks for the photo, Bob Quote
heppnerguy Posted January 25, 2019 Report 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

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 !! Quote
loftyhermes Posted January 25, 2019 Report 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

Gordster Posted January 25, 2019 Report Posted January 25, 2019 Looks great Brenda,wish I could keep mine that neat.I basically have the whole basement. Some days I look around and say to myself. "This is a disgrace " lol Lucky2 and Foxfold 1 1 Quote
barb.j.enders Posted January 26, 2019 Report Posted January 26, 2019 I got the old laundry room in our house, which was refinished last year. Hubby has one of the bedrooms as his hobby space! Foxfold and Lucky2 2 Quote
jollyred Posted January 26, 2019 Report 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. bobscroll, meflick, Lucky2 and 1 other 1 3 Quote
wombatie Posted January 26, 2019 Report 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
Tomanydogs Posted January 26, 2019 Report 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. Nice looking space Brenda. Foxfold 1 Quote

Nice looking space Brenda. 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 Tomanydogs and meflick 2 Quote
