I see nothing wrong with your coat rack (a 2 pointer, as they say in Kentucky)...

Tell your wife that you need to keep abreast of your interior decorating display skills.

Junk? It all looks like good stuff to me. Maybe that's why I'm still a bachelor.

You know what that room needs? A bar! Nothing fancy. A counter, a rack for bottles of booze, a little fridge with an ice tray for mixed drinks...

I think your wife screwed up by giving you your own room. You should run with it.

Even if it WERE junk (though most of it isn't) its still a treasure to the one who finds it.
Do all fishermen eat everything they catch? No.
Do all hunters?

Nice museum!
I sometimes use a pair of saucer-sized knee pads with velcro straps when the ground is a bit rough or wet. It looks like Debbie has just the right place... or places, to store them for you: When not in use you could velcro the straps and hang them so they....hide the treasure chest?

You do collect junk. Yours is one of the more complete collections of junk that I have seen in a long time. ps. Don't feel bad-My girlfriend collects junk too! So I know how your wife feels!

Now she has given me my own room in the house to use for all my "junk" the following pic's will try and explain to you what "my room looks like"

I collect old padlocks & old keys (anybody got some for me please, can swop Boer War items)?

The army boots were used by my Godfather's Farther during The 2nd World War, he was a mechanic during the war, they are of a very excellent condition.

And meet Debbie, I dressed her up, using my old army uniform that I wore when I was with The Special Forces when I was doing my two years of army service in South West Africa, (no wonder the wife is upset with me)

Anybody got anything for her to cover up?
Then I have these Boer War badges, they used to belong to my Great Grand Father who was George Henry Mason, who took part in The Boer War.

My Truck that I use, it is also a 4x4.

The horse shoe is coming out slowly, ground is too hard, had to use the small spade slowly.

Bed time it is now 12h02 Sunday morning.
Goodnight.
