My biggest problem is that I keep getting shuffled around. We have very
limited space, and I've moved from the downstairs to the bedroom, where she
tends to hit the sack early. I get shoved into a corner where when the door
is open she "doesn't have to see it at all." The spaces and suggestions she
has for storing Lego always seem to center on this idea. How can it be
hidden away in case the freaking Queen of England should stop by.

We too have very limited space, just under 50 square meters divided
over two rooms and one kitchen. That was an unsolvable equation.

I started out in the kitchen, rendering the kitchen table useless. As
the collection grew I inserted an extra table in the living room.

When my g/f moved to another city to study I made a bed on long legs
and had my computers and monitors beneath that and a U-shaped desk in
the bedroom, but now she is home again - change of school, appears she
rather be among the LEGO and me :)

Anyway, I built another bed on long legs, this time in the livingroom
with the couch underneath it. This makes the former bedroom "my"
domain. Well, I reserved one of the tables in the 'U' her study but I
have had to large projects lately for her books to fit Hrrrm.

I now call the former bedroom "geek room" since it has my LEGO and
computers :))

Perhaps I should do a page about my LEGO-place evolution, could be fun
to read when I get old, if I get old :))

One word for you: Propose! I mean, you live tight, your LEGO takes half your space, and your girlfriend RETURNS to live with you? Mate, you've found the perfect LEGO-wife. Congrats! :-P Pedro (Still under yesterday's spirit...) (22 years ago, 15-Feb-02, to lugnet.general)

Well, I'm not sure if this is comparable, but... My wife -it seems to me- operates under the feeling that she "allows" a lego collection to exist at all. Not in so many words, but it's clearly a constant nuisance to her. My biggest problem is that I (...) (22 years ago, 15-Feb-02, to lugnet.general)
