So I've spent all morning drawing floor plans for "kitchen" area and laundry/sewing room space . Little pieces of paper with layouts on them , mirrored on the other side so she can flip them . Gives like a total of 9 combinations , and if she can't find one she likes I'll just give up and make it into a man cave . Let her stay in the camper ... There is an unwritten rule of life, but it's probably the most important rule every man should learn: YOU CAN NEVER SATISFY A WOMAN: NEVER! I better repeat this....... YOU CAN NEVER SATISFY A WOMAN: NEVER! NOT EVER..... Give them $50, they want $150. Give them Gold, they want a Diamond. Give them Wine, they want Whiskey. Give them Blue, they want Red. Give them Steak, they want Lobster. Give them Roses, they want Tulips Give them 6 inches, they want 10 inches. Build what you want, and make it your Man Cave. She'll be bitching no matter what you do, so you may as well please yourself, while she nags you to an early grave, before she runs off with another man.... (who she *thinks* is more suited to her likes). |

I think she'll find a combo she likes , and I have some tweaks to the basic layouts to suggest if she wants . -- Snag |
