Dick, are you telling us you haven't learned how to sneak, oops, slip stuff into the house?
Sneaking in isn't a problem, it's finding a place to hide it. I have 5 kits stuffed behind my suits in my closet, 6 engines in the sweater rack, Exacto knives in the vegetable crisper and wing and fuselage jigs with the Christmas stuff.
In all fairness, my wife wouldn't give me any grief about my stash. She is glad that I am returning to the hobby because it makes me happy. The rub is, she is a collector of antiques (old junk) and I am always reminding her that we don't have any more room. I am SO bad!
