She's not a big fan of my brewing anyway, and this morning I'm about to bring home the brewstand I built this week. AND, in a bit over an hour I'm meeting a Craigslister to buy 50 feet of new 10-3 w/ground for $30 so I'll be bringing that home too. All together, looks like the doghouse for me..again.
I'm guessing my SWMBO is about to be upset

At least you'll have your homebrew to keep you company!

Should like you don't obey well.
I'm fortunate, my swmbo is grateful that I have a hobby and she enjoys the end product (especially the sparkling cider).
At least you can use the burners on the brewstand to heat your doghouse..And you can cook on there too, so you won't starve.

I've wanted to ask for awhile now what exactly does SWMBO stand for I know it means wife or gf but what does the letters mean?
Oh...boy you had to ask without searching didn't you?
I'd duck if I were you.Ok, I'll start the shenannagains.....
Searching Would Maybe Be Advisable.

Slutty Women Make Bad Ambassadors.

Meh, put a couple kegs in the doghouse (and maybe an old couch) and you'll be OK.

Oh my, all those posts, all that beer experience, and you still asked before a thorough search. By the way, it's not just this forum, it's all over the net.
Me? Obey well? I think not.
So you can always just stick a mattress on it in the doghouse and use it as a platfrom bed I guess.
Looks cool. But I guess if you don't post for awhile we'll know that swmbo found it. You wanna pm me your adress so we can have the coronor pick up your body?

Is that where you will have to stay for a few days?
I get first dibs, since I offered to take carry of the messy body recovery details.
But really wouldn't that just make a great funeral pyre to burn the body on??
We could always boil some wort on his body in tribute!!!:cross:
Well played, sir!!!
OK, well, while I appreciate all ya'all's concern about my dead stiff body and the equipment and all...we can all relax. SWMBO has seen it and asked how much I paid for it... I just told her that I made it. End of questions I guess.
<WHEW!>
<WHEW!>
Oh sure, I'm certain that her stony silence means everything is just fine . . .

Yep, the "I made it myself" reply just stuns a woman for so long. LOL

Yep, the "I made it myself" answer just stuns a woman for a while. Then they ask themselves when, why, where, how much... and either ask you or decide not to pursue it.
SWMBO gave me the greenlight to build a keezer and a bar in the dining room of our one bedroom apartment.... Between us... Best day of my life. If she asks though it comes in second to our wedding i suppose

Oh, that was TOO easy. Something's up. A week or so from now, she'll be in the closet shoveling through all her shoes and realize that whatever you spent "doing it yourself" to build that sweet blue brew stand could have bought X amount of shoes, then, THEN, you're in trouble, Mister. She'll haunt you with that for several months at least, every time she walks by a shoe display, and then bring it up every November for the rest of your life and really go for your throat about it at a family reunion Thanksgiving dinner 15 years from now.
In 2000 I bought a new bass boat...I had mentioned that I wanted to buy one, and was going to check one out on Saturday. Told her, "if I like it I'm buying it." Got the standard, "we need to talk about that first." Sooooo...about noon on Saturday I called her from the highway to tell her that I had just signed the paperwork for a 2000 Skeeter bass boat.After a steak dinner, wicker furniture for the front porch, and three days of silence she "got over it". Yeah, sure she did...several years later and I still hear about it now and then. The boat has even been gone for 2 years.
She mentioned once that she must have "about $2,000 in Mary Moo figurines"... to which I stupidly said, "TWO GRAND???" Of course I got the "don't even go there...how much was your f***ing boat?"
Anyway, I've been married to her for 25+ years, I know that this time I'm not going to get much hassle about it after all... which does surprise me a little.

Telling the SWMBO that you made it is one of the greatest things to say. Always ends in a "Oh, ok great." Little do they know how much actually goes into our DIY projects.
Nice job on the stand.

My response would have been "How many f***ing bass have those figurines caught you?"

I hope the heat from the funeral pyre doesnt warp the stand.
Honestly great work on that stand, and here is to hoping she stays cool with it!
I could also have asked how much money she won standing on those figurines... but I knew to drop it while the dropping was good. (I ran and fished in bass tournaments from 1999 to 2008 so I did win some, but not a lot of money from that Skeeter's deck.))

Nice job. The first thing my SWMBO would say if I made it was what tool did you buy? She would not worry about the material cost as she knows there would be a power tool purchased somewhere along the line to make the stand.

Street Walkers May Be Obnoxious.
Had I not built this at work I too would have had to buy tools. Luckily, the only tool I know I'll be buying is a couple of hole saws... we have them at work but they're used for carbon steel and I don't want to use them for my stainless.
Oh...boy you had to ask without searching didn't you?

Here's a sort of mockup with the stand in the basement... this is not the cooler I'll be using, but the color is right.
:rockin: Rockin dude. That's a SS milk can isn't it? Are you using that as your BK or what? What are you going to use that HF keg for (from your thread last week).
It's actually a SS olive oil can. I plan to use it as a HLT. I still don't know what the old keg will end up as.... it might be on the stand all polished up as either the MLT or BK....or it might stay as a chair in the brew room.
Revvy, what's SWMBA?
She who must be avoided, actually.
LOL, I was so not awake when I posted those....
No wonder I had trouble coming up with them....
