I've learnt to say "collector" in lieu of " hoarder." Mrs. Chilly accepts the latter.

Welcome from Colorado!

Only the garage? How about the dining room, living room, kitchen, basement and bedroom? How did you keep her from noticing those?

Heh-heh, welcome from TC! :-D

I have driven Supply since 1978. It has abused a lot of more than it's share of cars and trucks. It is so much better now (sarcasm) that they fixed it! It is/was much better than Shippy though.
I have tools scattered through out the homestead not just the garage, but she is getting "concerned" about the tig welders I have been eyeing. I am looking at a Dynasty 350
