oldtimer - 27/9/10 at 07:16 AM

Well, looks like the house is probably sold and the house my wife wants has no garage.................................After tossing a coin, fate means it's the car that has to go, not the wife.

It's on the bay

Item 270640340228

I don't know what else to say. Would like to sell to an enthusiast off here really. I've spent well over £6k to this point, offers invited, viewing recommended. Anybody got a lower spec but road going one to swap with? - it'll be on the road mind. Or a car for my wife?...

Oh the pain

Get another coin.

You could always have someone finish it for you and then keep it! Problem solved!

Rent a lockup nearby

you can get sectional garages cheap on ebay


oldtimer - 27/9/10 at 08:20 AM

I know, you are all right. But. No room for garage. Garages not available nearby at reasonable cost - this is central Bath we are talking about. House needs major work so I wil be expected to do/project manage all that - not play cars. No drive either so car would be on road afterwards and I'm not happy about that. Hard top kit car to swap anywhere??

if you did want to keep it you can rent garages pretty cheap nowadays....

No drive, no garage...sounds like my idea of a rubbish house


oldtimer - 27/9/10 at 09:06 AM

I know. I know. But, it happens to meet the requirements of the other members of the family, and some, if not all, of mine. This house is bigger and better located geographically. My wife points out that as she has no toys and I have a small yacht, 2 motorcycles and a car under construction it is therefore ME who is going to compromise(this time), not her. Which, I guess is fair enough. My present home is not conveniently positioned but has a garage. Purchase home is bigger, better located, has a basement to develop, but, has no garage.....

Me thinks the wife has to go ?
she sounds unreasonable to me

Much as my wife drives me scatty somtimes, yet has never complained about sportscars/m/bikes, or 5k worth of R/C planes in the garage, and if we were to move, all my toys would need to put somwhere, and in her words NOT THE HOUSE

so a garage it will be!


MikeR - 27/9/10 at 10:35 AM

'develop the basement' ..... is that not an underground garage????

Only issue i've got with the g/f is the suggestion that the next house can have as big a garage as i want as long as her kitchen is the same size (i'm trying to negotiate a 4 to 1 ratio in favour of the garage).

I think you mean our kitchen Convert downstairs into open plan job done. Sit in the car and watch TV and drive through the kitchen for dinner.


MikeR - 27/9/10 at 11:36 AM

if its 'her' kitchen, then she's doing the bulk of the cooking (she does love to cook so its not a hardship on either part). It also means i can banish her from 'my' garage

You must be seriously under the thumb


EDIT:
Any wife wirth her salt, will realise that her Boy MUST have his Toy(s)

I would start having late nights out at the pub... Well you havent got a garage to go and play in, so you have to go to the pub instead.

I am sure she will see reason in the end.
