Nope, doesn't work that way. I've got two kids, both girls, and they don't help at ALL. Thank goodness my wife does.

Tigeriv, when SWMBO, she who must be obeyed, comes down with the "honey do" list, that list of things that always starts with, "honey, can you do this", modeling goes out the window. I go back to work tomorrow after being off for 12 days, including weekends, and I haven't gotten one thing done on my models. Got a new hardware floor though.

Oh well.

I know exactly what you mean....

Between cleaning up the basement/workroom/modelling bench after the flood caused by ALL of the spring rain, (nothing got ruined,I am happy to report) all of the outdoor yard work,and trying to fix the the exterior of the house 'cause we are trying to sell it next year, I haven't touched a model now in almost 2 months!!!!!!
