Whatever that is, it looks like you could be replaced by it.

As a general rule I like to make my wife something. Previous years, hope chest, book shelves. This year she asked for a new wine rack. I have some beautiful curled cherry boards that I have been holding onto for some years, just waiting for the right project.

Re: What You Getting Other Half For Christmas?


Im not getting her nothing and thats what she wants, she wants my time this year. I gutted our bath room over four months ago and it has a drywall, waintscoting (60%) tile (75%) jucuzzi, and a working toilet. So guess its time to finish and then x-mas morning a nice hot bath together :-o.

Re: What You Getting Other Half For Christmas?


Oh BTW BC, I guarantee you if you give her that for Christmas, you will NEVER hear the end of it. I don't care how cool it looks to you, she will think "I guess you are telling me I don't clean the house enough"

Don't do it.

Well she wants the new Audi RS4 or the Q7 so i guess i could build her something instead. I def dont think she would be very impressed if i done that though lol.

Framerman all she does is moan about the current one so she better like it lol.

Re: What You Getting Other Half For Christmas?


I'm getting mine a big chunk of coal and telling her to sit on it and wait. In time it will become a diamond.

Other than that I have no idea.
