Hell in college I didn't even let her move out. The GF came home one day to the dining room table in the apartment up against the wall and the engine stand under the nice pendant light where the table had been. I paid for everything including her college classes, the least she could do is give me the dining room we never used anyways, right? Well long story short, the Chevelle got a new 383 stroker that make 518hp and I lost 165 pounds that summer. 130 was her, the other 35 was me working out again with all that free time!
Enjoy man!!!

Still Too Tidy.

Nary an oil stain in sight.

Set up a time-lapse camera and take one pic a day same view.

If you want to be a bit nasty, show your ex the results.

I would say being able to get rid of those curtains.

Maybe replace with a Confederate flag or something?

Being able to cure painted parts in the oven, being able to use the bathtub as a huge degreasing tank, and being able to use a bedroom as a parts storage room!

Kinda sad reading these.....I've been married to my first wife for 47 years, the MG is one she bought new in 1979 with her money from her exercise business, she loves to drive it and she promised that the new shop that came with my "retirement home" we bought would be my private domain where I can keep it running and looking great. And... she looks SOOOO....good behind the wheel. Wouldn't have it any other way!

At Christmas, especially, I remember the surprise present my wife got me years ago. We had a flock of kids, not much money, and I was owner and employee of a one man business. She gave me a little ad for a 1930 Ford 5 Window Coupe which was for sale about 50 miles away. It was said to be almost entirely disassembled. Then she said that I should take the stake truck and go pick it all up, it was already bought and paid for. About two years later, I drove it out of the barn and she was shocked - said she was sure that it was a lifetime project. The car is long gone, but I still have her. Merry Christmas, everyone. . .

You are doing what she expects you to do...if you really want to get up her nose, do the place up...new curtains..new paint out..new furniture and the big daddy that rolls them...a new kitchen!!

Gotta say...all that will wear off...and contrary to belief , most blokes wouldn't want to exist that way...let alone a woman...lololololololol

But whatever floats your boat to be happy...your house

PP, your mention of lemons reminds me of a funny story. Years ago I had a lemon tree/bush in my yard and never used the lemons. I'd just pick thrm up and throw them out when they fell so that I didn't make a mess of them with the lawnmower. One day, I decided to pick all the ripe lemons and figured I'd make lemonade, but, having never made lemonade before, I didn't realize how much lemonade you can make from just a few lemons. Well, I wound up picking 21 brown grocery bags full of lemons before I consulted the lemonade recipe. So, I decided to give them to a local homeless mission, so I drove there only to find out the place was closed on Sunday (I have no idea why). So, I just left all the bags on their porch. I don't know if they showed up the next day and thought it was a nice gift or if they arrived and thought who the #$@& left all these *€£% lemons on our porch!
