My Wife, responsible smoker that she is does not smoke in the house, so guess what? she smokes in the Garage. Not so bad I guess, however she decided that she needed more home comforts, so over the course of the Winter has added a reclining chair, carpet (yes, really), phone, & a microwave oven to warm her coffee. She also is talking about getting it re-painted, who knows what's next? maybe a plasma TV & digital cable.. 
So I had to take control & show her who wears the pants around here. "Look, dear the Garage is the traditional Man's domain" I told her (after downing a couple of pints of liquid courage). "Yes, but I'm using it to smoke in now, its too cold outside, could you pass the remote"?
Well that showed her I thought as I handed it over..
But I had a plan B already hatched, turn the spare "junk" room in the Basement into the new Man's room, complete with computer, a nice workbench & somewhere comfy for those important afternoon naps. OK I can't get the entire Kawa down there but big chunks of it including the engine rebuild will happen..
I even managed to fend off the helpful hints about colour, OK I'm colour blind, maybe I should have listened that time.
SoupD.
8 years of junk.
Finally cleaned up.

Nice job, like the little lathe...Make sure you put a no smoking sign on the door...then start with a frame on a stand until a new bike is built...Then disassemble to take it up the stairs.
