Sorry for your news Barry. Been there too, as the guys say, if you're gonna sell it, do it for peanuts to a mate and then get it back when the dust settles.

I had already started mine before all the divorce stuff happened and am so glad I kept it. 4 years down the line and life is good.

Good luck whichever way it goes mate, and chin up .

Agree with the above, sell it for peanuts, get a receipt and get it back after. If I had the space I'd let you store it in my garage but sadly I don't.

Its a MANS world.... UNTIL it comes to a DIVORCE.

Sell the kit to a mate for a low price. Then Buy back later.

Make sure you keep a diary from now on, write down all conversations. The notes help when you are sorting out who said and agreed what etc. DONT let her see or get wind of it. It gives you an edge!

Talk to the Wife, and try to avoid doing it via the lawyers, as that racks up mega expense.

Other than that. Sorry to hear.
Keep your chin up, its not the end, its a new begining!

2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
