The only thing wrong with those pics is the pool table wasting valuable space. Replace it with a dining room table and you can store parts under it as well as on top of it :)


Steve, what do you take me for an amateur? There are several boxes of parts under the pool table, you just can't see them in the pics.B) Oh and the dining room table has parts on it and under it as well.

Oh, ok, just thought you may be slipping a little in maintaining your professional standing :D

We'll see how well you maintain your professional standing when SWMBO arrives :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Unless Senora Gringo has already arrived, and I missed the announcement.

In which case I bow to you sir!! :woohoo:

Love what you've done to the place. Probably too far for me to bunk at Sandy, even if Gringo would have me. I'd be taking up more space with my bikes!

I do have relatives in Ohio now (and a niece at Ohio State), maybe I can get by for a beer and drool over your collection one of these days.

I am curious what your plan is when Senora does show up :p

Thanks guys, I'm glad you like my decorating style and find this thread useful. You can also tell SWMBO that I'm available for hire as an interior designer.;) As for Senora Gringo, she's still cooling her heels in Cali waiting for me to complete what I hope is the last of her paperwork. I'm going this morning to pick up a couple of documents that needed to be translated (at a cost of $42.50 per page):angry: :angry: :angry: .

I think I've come up with a new plan though which means this silliness is going to end. I'm thinking very seriously about selling this house and buying my mother's house. It backs up to a nice fishing lake and has a fenced in back yard so my Scottie can run around to his hearts content. The best thing about it though is it has a garage :) the garage is only a one car but the door leading from it to the house gives me a straight shot down the stairs into the basement. I'm planning on building a ramp to cover the steps and that way I can shoot whatever bike I'm working on down there. I'd guess the basement is around 1200 SF so I can have a workshop/mancave extraordinaire. This will leave the upstairs free of bike clutter and keep Senora Gringo happy. There is also a screened in back porch off the master BR that can be pressed into service for bike storage during the winter.:)
