    Do you have a hobby mancave

    I use two rooms, the small bedroom upstairs for construction etc. However not enough room for the spray booths and as I only use laquer, Julie's very good nose would object to the smell. My builder friend Malcolm built a paint room in the garage with me as labourer, swear box was over filled...
