After no more places to hide my jig tying supplies from my wife, I’ve finally reached the “I have to much stuff” stage…. :Rofl
Or does this just mean I need more storage drawers to hide it? :dono

If she won't let you have a corner in the garage....you could do like Snake river and get a small portable building.
Just means you need to get rid of the wife............ unless she is the one buying said jig supplies.:Rofl
Thats my plan although it’s gonna be bigger than small…. :biggrinQuote:

Not sure how long all this is gonna take but hopefully within a couple years.
No I need to keep her, I need someone to distract my daughters so I can actually do something without interruptions….:RoflQuote:

Often, tree cutting should be done by insured professionals. Doesn't take much of a hiccup to ruin your day!
And find better ways to store it, lol!
SKip
I agree that gravity works in it's own direction too often. Got a friend who misjudged the drop of a tree and crushed a Mercedes Benz. Baaad move but he did miss the house.
Time for a He Shed, Dave.

Well looks like everything is being worked out for you. I cut down a bunch of trees at my place and dragged them to the burn pile and gone.
Get one of your children into tying....moms will do anything for their kids.
I gave my Chainsaws away. Lol

Smart man Chuck. It is cheaper to spend a little more and have a pro do it. Plus I know a guy that hit a nail cutting a tree and broke the chain and it wrapped around his leg. Not too serious but painful.
Geez! He was lucky on that one! Nasty business.Quote:

Yes I bought a building when our first daughter was born and we had to clear out a room. When I bought it I thought that’s plenty big and should be enough. Didn’t take long and it was completely full. What I didn’t plan on was wife and girls and all the kids things :banghead
I believe given enough time I could fill 10000 square foot warehouse. Wait on second thought I probably should shoot higher
My shop is 12 by 20 and at times that gets pretty small. Easy to heat though as winter can be brutal up here.
That is one advantage to small I could be heated and cooled easierQuote:

I am lucky that my wife loves to fish more than I do so an out building wouldn't be hard to talk her into.
For now we do the wrong thing and keep most of our fishing equipment in the Ford Escape year round, but I sure would like some more space.
I know the feeling. Above the lil women's vehicle in the auto garage the ceiling has fishing poles in racks. I have sold 29 rods and reels as I just bank fish these days. I'll get by though, there is still a dozen up there and 18 tackle boxes. Some have not been opened since the 80's. When I quit tourney fishing for bass in 2006 I put all the bass stuff in the attic of garage and never even looked at it since. Yep, next spring more stuff has to go. Oh I sold almost a thousand craink baits. When a new series would come out I would buy direct from the factory. Every size in each color in triplicate. I too know about an understanding wife who loved her fishing.
I house a lot of tools. I sure hate to get rid of them. That is when I will need themQuote:

As I've said a couple of times on different threads: I too, have outgrown my 12X20 barn-style building and I'm now looking at a 12X14 double side-door barn roof with eight-foot walls and quarter lofts, so that I can build rod storage cabinets along the walls, and have room for bigger items such as mower, generator, pressure washer, table saw, and yard tools... making room in my other building for more useable working space. I was about to pull the trigger, but the one in stock was red with white trim and had two windows... I want gray with white trim and don't want any windows.
Folks, this is why a building cant be to big has been commandeered for crafty woman. I may get it back before Christmas.Attachment 409384
Doesn't look so bad
Did you lose your wife? If I did I would be lost!Quote:

funfisher, Yes my wife passed in 2000 to the evil cancer. A few years back I ran into a woman that we lived next door to each other all the way thru school. Her in a similar situation and I decided to give it a try. At 60 is a strange time to try and train a person, both ways. LOL. We just roll along and enjoy the company, most days. Hope I didn't babble too long.
I saw the table saw in there. Wood working is a hobby that requires some room. I enjoy building furniture and such when I have the time and inspiration. I usually get myself in trouble. The wife will see something and say I like that. I will say particle board. Then I get voted to build it. Which reminds me I have a top to make for an electric lift desk( adjustable sitting or standing deskQuote:

Just one of those folks, Fishing was always the same way, nothing could be on the deck of the boat. They make compartments for that. Just my OCD kicking in.:dono
I need to get back in the shop and get some things done
Ya I am 1 of 2 things have to happen. In the mood or this will be done soon ultimatum. I love wood working almost as jig making.
