It's all about the Man Cave

When Bill Me Later and Parents Bloggers Network sent out an email asking to show what your spouse hangs on to for dear life, I almost fell out of my chair laughing. Did they have my darling spouse in mind when they thought of this?

Because my hubby, is a pack rat. There is nothing in this world that he has not gotten his hands on and stashed somewhere on our 24 acres. He has a habit of collecting everything from vintage cameras to tractor tires. We've got a Bronco from 1978 in the back, an airboat hull hidden in the weeds, a collection of old filing cabinets somewhere in a pasture, and three (yes three) Ford 302 V8 engines in a shed. And this is just the tip of the iceburg. This list doesn't include the antiques he collects or the motorcycle frames he's got stacked out in another shed behind the house.

But this is the pride and joy of his "collection"



A 1927 Model T coupe cab. He had it shipped down from Minnesota in March and he has it in his "man cave" (a barn surrounded by hedges of grass) awaiting restoration.

With a man that collects soooo much stuff, I'm lucky he doesn't collect wives as well, huh? :)

I'd say it is a good thing you have so much land! I say that as I look out the window at my 10,000 square foot lot! :)

That is cool. It's all about the potential, right?

A tour of your property would probably be very entertaining huh? At least you have lots of room to store all of his stuff!

"Man Cave" was a term invented by the HGTV network. Find out the real deal at www.themantuary.com
