Build an outbuilding. Then you can spread out your projects.
Personally I'm partial to pole barns, but you could just do a chicken coop type building, long.

Alright, some years ago, I agreed to go into partnership on the purchase of a house my little sister 'just loved' but at the time, her credit score would not allow her to get the mortgage.

Now this worked out great since the property I owned was not (closer now) ready to be lived on.

Well, this morning she announced the following.

I need to complete all present projects before beginning a new one.

She pointed to my work bench which has 4 heath kit vacuum tube transceivers in various stages of reconditioning, a homebrew (radio built from scratch using either schematics downloaded off the web or something designed by the operator) and the fact that the back deck has all the parts for a full wave, multi band directional antenna.

This came about after I said I was thinking of taking a consulting job I was offered to pay for a new telescope kit.

(the telescopes are another bone of contention, as there are two in the living room, one in the den, and one permanently mounted on a platform on the roof with a motor to allow me to change orientation in both the horizontal and vertical axis and connected to a wireless camera linked to my computer.)

Now personally, I think she is being unreasonable since (with the exception of the telescopes) my work bench is in my radio shack (once a fourth bedroom/study) and therefore out of sight.

And, after some thought, have come to the conclusion that she has coerced my daughter in law and both nieces to her side.

I also think this is but one more example of the inability of the female mind to understand reason.
