Do what I did. Get a bigger house with a dedicated man cave.
Then no reason for her to complain!

Yeah... Ditto on that one... But it's only my "mancave" until we try for another baby... Then it becomes baby-room #2... So birth control is supporting my obsession for now LMAO!!!

Well I built a wall mounted tool storage/work bench in my garage.. My wife found it online and showed me the finished product.. It's pretty neat... You basically fasten 2x6 boards to the wall (edge ways).. Build a box out of it... 3x5 or 4x8... Then cut & hinge a piece of plywood to fit.. Add lengths of chain to your corners.. Put a latch on top... When you close it, it just looks like a piece of plywood progressed from the wall 6".. But when you open it, all your tools are hanging neatly inside and you have a functional work bench... Took me about 4 hours to build and I love the hell out of it... You could make something like that in your garage to store cars in...

Man, if she is nagging you about having them laying around the house she is going to love having them hang on her bedroom wall! I just keep mine in the garage where they are out of sight and out of mind. but if I bring them in ans they don't go back out within a day I will hear about it from her!

No I don't have any at the moment (offshore @ work).. But I will do a kittle research and see if I can find the write up she printed off for me.. Its a very clever idea and I'd like to take credit for it.. But I just followed instructions.. But you get the basic principle eh??

I tell her I will get rid of one RC car for every 2-3 pairs of shoes she will part with. End of discussion.
