Them women really freak when they catch you washing your air filter box in there. But it works so well after a really muddy ride.:p

This thread is really cracking me up
Tell me if your wives are saying that the house is theirs are they the ones paying the mortgage, bills or upkeep of the place or is all the mail that comes through the door with a demand for payment automatically yours to sort out.
Why not say if you want the house you pay for it and keep all your money for toys and candy
Another way to keep them out of the garage is to buy some mouse traps and a fake mouse and place them around the garage making sure you tell her you have mice and if she opens the door their sure to get into HER house that should keep her out.:p

a454elk · Feb 12, 2002

I've tried the fake mouse thing, actually found a real one for the ploy, but it backfired on me. We've had the exterminators out here for the past year. She bought a year contract with them because of my little mouse. You think I'll tell her it was just a trick, not in this lifetime.

The vacuum! That has to be her third arm or something. She vacuums 3 times a day, geeesssh! I change the bag twice a month for crying out load. We have vacuums strategically placed throughout the house so she can pull one out in the event of an emergency. I got one in every closet and the big cannister one in the garage for me! She even vacuumed when my little girl was still in the womb. Now if I want the little one to got to sleep, I fire up the vacuum! We came back froma weeks vacation and the first thing she did was fire up the vacuum, before we could unpack!!!!! She even makes me vacuum up the back yard.

I think she's an alien, not sure, but I have my suspicions!:)

Your wife ever make you wash her car in the rain, yep, you guessed it, my alien did. I took it to go riding one time and it was raining. It got a little muddy and I had to pay the price!:mad:

Boy, this turned into a wife flame huh? Gotta love the little woman, gotta!

Mark, I don't throw the mortgage card, she makes more than me! :D

you wanna make point?

put a in house vac system in! she'll love it.

LoriKTM · Feb 12, 2002

Hmm. I had my suspicions that I was one of the odd birds. Guess that's what happens when both people ride dirt bikes! Look at it from the opposite side, we fight over garage space as well. "Hey, your back tire is in the way. Can you move it over? I can't get over to my bike". OR... "What did you do with that #8 T-handle?"

And money? Whoa, yeah. It's not dirt bike vs. new appliance. It's now dirt bike vs. dirt bike. "Well, you got the new dirt bike last time, so this year it's MY turn to get a new dirt bike." ... "Oh yeah, well you spent $$$ on your street bike, so you used up your dirt bike allowance..."

Of course, there is a downside to having two dirtbike people in the same household. Our house needs new carpet, and could stand a new roof. It doesn't get cleaned as often as it probably should, and Better Homes and Gardens is NOT going to be visiting asking to showcase our home in the next issue!! :eek: Unfortunately, I'm also a member of the packus rattus species. I really would throw stuff out, but there's always something more fun to be doing! (Like riding dirt bikes!)

Okiewan · Feb 12, 2002

All this garage talk has got me feeling pretty guilty... mine is packed full of CRAP with two dirtbikes shoved in there somewhere :( . After the big remodel job a couple months ago, all the stuff we stuck out there to throw out or give-away is still there... I just don't have the heart to load-up the curb, poor garbage dude might fall over. I need a yard barn to get all those nasty yard tools out of there!

A pic is in order :)

a454elk · Feb 12, 2002

Marlin, I thought about the house vac system but guess where the main unit will go, IN THE GARAGE!

Actually the garage is in great shape, as far as I'm concerned. I think a pix is definately in order. I'll snap a photo of Elk's garage and you can tell me what you think. :)

Remember Lori, YOU said you're an odd bird, not me! LOL! I guess I got me one of those Nordstom's girls :(

I solved the problem about having yard tools. All I need is a broom, I don't have any grass! I went with all cement and planting beds. No mower, no edger and no weed wacker. Just a broom and a hose.

Hey Okie, maybe we can start a garage forum so's we can post our pix in it for all to see. Wait, maybe not a good idea, might have some window shoppers looking also, if you know what I mean. :think

My wife has turned my garage into a distribution warehouse for QVC and HSN. Everyday I come home there is one of those @!@#$(&^!! boxes at my front door.:(

a454elk · Feb 12, 2002

You gotta be kidding, me and my mail man have a standing joke about that. He's always delivering those darn packages to my door. Get this, I hid one from her one time, in the oven. I told her she had to find it when she called on the phone. Unfortunately, my daughter had fired up the oven to make something and caught the package on fire! It was a Suzanne Somers cook book!!! Coincidence, I think not. My garage gets bombarded with those boxes at the nights end. The first thing she asks me on the phone is if she got any packages today!

Elk

ktmboy · Feb 12, 2002

Mysterious whisper voice on---
"Build it....and they will come.....and fill it with boxes, and un-wanted furniture, and craft materials, and....
Mysterious whisper voice off.
You know, half my 3 car garage is a 'wharehouse', my wifes car barely fits in 'her half', and she has the audacity to tell me that I could park my car inside if I would clean my half. Why would I want to do that- so she has room for MORE junk?

Elk---how could you possibly demean me by making fun of my landscaping, being I live in the desert, then you admit that YOUR landscaping is concrete?
Now I see how you are!:debil:

holeshot · Feb 12, 2002

never satisfied

.
I bought my (ex)wife a Shop Vac for her birthday (years ago). She made me bring it back! Some women are so unappreciative (and insensitive).:(

70 marlin · Feb 13, 2002

I'm guilty! of this!

"454"

The first thing she asks me on the phone is if she got any packages today!

I built a high performance jetboat all most completely from mail order. it's like your addicted to a drug? "is my new set of piston's in from jeg's?" I almost felt like I needed help.

I thought about the house vac system but guess where the main unit will go, IN THE GARAGE!

some houses are tougher to do but. I was going to put mine in the basement. or you can do the closet / attic. if your house is on a slab.

a454elk · Feb 14, 2002

Marlin, this is California, people out here don't know what a basement is!:)
My poor mailman has to wear a lower back support belt cause of all the stupid packages he has to carry here. "She likes things, huh?" he said. I said, "You don't know the half of it my brother!"

KTMsandboy, oops! The cats outta the bag.

The garage situation hasn't changed and being that today is the big V day, I get a double whammy, it's her Birthday too! Yikes! Two birds with one stone I say. I seem to be on the losing end cause I get squat for V day. A set of graphics or a tire would be nice:):)

Garages

I must be a disgrace to the female world.... Jim has the 2 1/2 car garage all to himself, hes a mechanic so there is an engine lift and who knows what else in there!!! (but he lets me park my truck in there in the winter) he also has one of the bedrooms (we only have two) to display his classic car models and a room in the basement to build his models. We are looking for a new house and the criteria is: three bedrooms, one for us, one for his models and one for his son and a huge garage!!!

scar tissue · Feb 14, 2002

I refuse to lose this fight!

Its one of our main arguments. I've got in my garage a satilite tv32", stereo, 2 bikes, home gym, work bench, shelves of tools and soon my pool table. I just tell her we'll fill up the other 4 bedrooms before filling up the garage with junk. It's also the first room I unpack whenvever we move:aj:

a454elk · Feb 15, 2002

We must stand together and hold our ground! The garage is our kingdom, WE are the kings and the keepers of our own destiny. Stand tall brothers for these are times of strain. God speed

Thems fightin words brother. I don't think a mongolian hoard could stand against my wife with that talk. She's like one of those chain saws with the 125cc two stroke engine and expansion chamber at WOT --- Good Lord have Mercy on us all.:whiner:

There must be a way, there must be a way, there must be a way, I think I can, I think I can.....

ding - dong --- "UPS!"

"Honey! Can you put this in the garage?"

"Ughh.... I putting my foot...Ughh...Yes mam":eek:

a454elk · Feb 16, 2002

It's OK Sharp, I still where the pants here too, when she has to wash my tutu!!:)

KelvinKDX · Feb 16, 2002

This is a fantastic thread. I'm sorry that i just noticed it.

When we bought our present house i swore that we would not buy a house without a basement (BIG BASEMENT). Well - you know what happened. We found a house that she liked and i was so sick of looking at houses that i said "where do i sign?".

Now i am ready to move because i share with all of you the garage delema.

My wife rides a dirt bike so she is very understanding when her bike needs work. My wife is also a woman ( :think ) yes, she is a woman. She never throws anything away, she has all of those damn shoe boxes. I am pretty sure that the only reason that she got into dirt bike riding was so that she could accessorize. :mad:

I did catch her using the grill once. It was quite good. Please do not tell anyone.:ugg:

a454elk · Feb 18, 2002

You've given up your stronghold Kelvin, you might as well paint your bike pink! The only thing my wife likes about riding is all the different outfits you can buy to match! Go figure!:)
Elk

ktmboy · Feb 18, 2002

So Elk, how do you explain the fact that your gear doesn't match?:p

a454elk · Feb 18, 2002

I was being nostalgic bro! Remember the days of the JT racing jerseys, you're old enough. Obviously MY wife doesn't dress me, unlike yours!!!!:):):) I've gotta start hiding my posts from this guy! j/k LOL:)
Elk

We need a ride soon my friend.

Lemonhead · Feb 18, 2002

Married once, got it over and done with in two years that was when I was thirty five. My girl friend now tries that stuff. But "you have a bigger house and a garage with nothing but bikes". I say "so!" Just because you keep buying crap doesn't mean I have to store it over here. My friends are all still married and they come over and call my place the oasis. I love being single. Most women won't take responsibility for their happiness and force the burden on to the guy. Because they don't have a life they feel the guy shouldn't either. Being happy with singleness and being centered and grouned is attractive to the ladies while being just a touch threatening. The reason I don't want to get married again is the same as why i won't live with an inside only cat, because sometimes you have to kick their asses out to get some saneness.:D

scar tissue · Feb 19, 2002

Heres was the ultimate garage/ house combo. When I lived in the midwest. I looked a a house for sale and it was 1500 sq. ft. and the garage was a small airplane hanger. The guy was a crop duster. Now that was a garage :aj: It was at least twice the size of the house with those oversize doors. :)

The garage is supposed to be mine!
