My poor work bench

May I suggest you rebuild a small engine on your wife's kitchen counter-tops, and at her when she asks what and why you are doing such a thing. If that doesn't cure her of messing up your garage, nothing will. :laughing:

Sure! How about YOU try it, and let us know how long it takes to get back from the doghouse/hospital; hmmm?:licking:

By the look of it, you're also clean, neat and tidy with it!:thumbsup: I'm not a motorbike guy so forgive me if I ask a dumb question: is that a restoration happening or are you customizing your ride? Your wife seems content to let you have the kitchen; mine would have me doing all the meal prep and other kitchen duties anytime I wanted to "set up shop" in there.:laughing:

My wife knows better than to mess around in my shop.

Your wife should have yelled at them "USE A COASTER!!!" "WHAT, WERE YOU RAISED IN A BARN?"

My wife only loves me having a shop when she needs something fixed. The rest of the time it's "you have too many tools".
I actually now keep a pile of coasters out st the bench. Never again!

For a few years we lived in a beach house (= no basement) with an unheated detached garage. Every winter I would need to tear down my enduro motorcycle for preventative maintenance/lubrication, and the choices were basically 1) on the benchtop in the garage when it is 15'F outside, or 2) in the house where it's warm.

The agreement with my wife was twofold: first, that I didn't dilly-dally around -- the project had to finish in a timely matter. And second, that whenever the kitchen was occupied by the disassembled bike, I was to either cook dinner or we would eat out. As you imagine I only took over the kitchen once, as the result was too much work and/or too expensive!!! :laughing:

Note that I didn't really do anything "untidy" in the house; for example, cleaning of dirty/greasy bearings and so on would be done outside on the attached deck. In other words the house did not end up smelling like a petro-chemical factory site...
