Oh Wade, don’t wait for “some time”, it will never come. Seize the day! Don’t move anything more into that new room until you get 2 gallons of dark olive or forest green and fix that room! You’ve got a clean slate there and the chance to make yourself a perfect space - don’t let it pass!
Fiance might buy into the idea about not wrecking the rug with paint stains, easier to clean for you et.c.
YOU will be doing the cleaning in the hobby room, it’s your dust et.c. and you know how to clean the stuff in there without causing breakages …
They don’t like it but I keep my hobby room door close. Sometimes I do have chase them out when they run in when the door is opened. It’s also my work office so it sometimes work to keep the wimmens out too but I am not as successful with that group. They just don’t seem to care what I say.
Yes, I will have to get in the habit real fast of closing the hobby room door. Never had to do that before as all of my pets were perceptive enough to not bother models or desk etc.
Hopefully, Kali Kat can help Jo-Jo understand protocol.
There very well could be hardwood flooring under that carpet. Soon after moving into my home, I pulled up the horrible 70’s green shag carpet in the living room. Underneath was a hardwood floor, thin strips running parallel with the walls in a concentric sort of pattern. Just needed a little refinishing.
Been hesitant to get a cat myself, I know they’ll be climbing shelves and knocking things over.
After tolerating my very serious hot rod hobby over many years, including a frame off restoration for my 3rd Gen Camaro, I don’t think the model hobby seems so bad to her
Enlisted the help of the grand kids this evening as tank-jugglers, Panzer stickers aka model movers. The old hobby room is starting to look empty.
