I agree with nearly all of the above!!
+ When you no longer care about people staring at you whilst you browse the fingernail polish colors; When your whole family knows better than to call them "toys" or else face getting the "lecture"....

Ain't that the truth.

When the first thing you think about looking at new houses is your work area.

ha, worked instructions on how i wanted the lighting and wireing in my modeling room into the contract when we wrote it up on my new house. You should have seen the builders face when i explained why it was so diffrent.

I'll bite, how do you have it set up?

i wanted florescent lights end to end over the workbench he's building. We're going to talk more about the area i'm gonna have the spray booth and sink mounted. The thing that he was so confused about is why i was converting a room he planned to be a den downstairs into a modeling room. I picked it b/c on the other side of the wall there was a half bath so we just made it with the sink on the other side. Sorry i'm not very good at explaining how it's gonna be laid out but once i get it finished i'll post up pics. The builder is just going to get it wired up and install the lights. I'm gonna have to slowly build it up how i want it, right now it's just unfinished basement.

Isn't that the truth. I was weird one night from glueing a few parts together.

Same for me. I've actually scored some chicks after they saw my models. They say it indicates patience and attention to detail. Little do they know that it's patience and attention to detail.... only for model cars!

You know you're an addict when you think model cars score you chicks.
