Problems with SWMBO and kids?
|
|
Have any of you had problems with your kids or SWMBO invading your brew space? Well, I've had it. The first brew shed/ shop was hardly finished when my daughter needed room to store her junk between marriages. That lasted two years. The second brew shed was useful to SWMBO because it had a lot of light and was a neat place for her plants. The third brew shed was so great for SWMBO because it could be used for a flower garden tool shed.
I have single handedly built all this stuff along with a new shop/brew shed. It's 30 by 40 feet, and I have the only key. I'm fed up. Do any of you blame me? Where does it end?
The brew shed is only 12 by 20 inside the 30 by 40 building, but i do more than homebrew and that's enough space to brew. The rest of the building is shop space, and i just dare them to start wanting any of it.

Yes, I do blame you. You let THREE brewing places get taken over by SWMBO (not SHMBO)!?!? Sorry dude, but you are whipped.

1. Tell the daughter to rent a storage space
2. Tell the wife plants do better outside
3. Since you already have 3 storage sheds, let her use 1 for the tools.
Do this, and you will not only have a brew shed, but you can use the other free one for malting or storing grain! Problem solved!

Women don't want men to be have nice things or for them to be happy. The only way to keep them out of the new place is to mope around for at least a day before brewing, talking about how bad the new shed sucks. Reluctantly slink in there, lock the door, pull the shades, and party down. When the brew session is finished be sure to put on your mopey face again and just lie on the couch for a bit like your dog just died.

I'll never get over the number of threads on this site where "grown" men admit to being whipped dogs.

Yes yes wife and children constantly take my stuff, etc. But what I really want to explore here is three brew sheds? Are they all still in use? Do you live out in the boonies? Inquiring minds want to know!

You just haven't found the right one yet. My wife just gave me $300 to spend on my brew shed last week.

I just showed my wife this and she said she couldn't believe someone's wife would do that to them.
