Fortunately my workspace is out in the garage.

My wife understands that the garage is MY domain and respects boundaries.

The cats don't, of course, which is why the garage is off limits to them.

I feel for those of my brethren who don't have the room for a permanent, dedicated workspace they can call their own. We should all be free to enjoy our hobby without fearing of having to relocate just to suit the whims of another.
