It ain’t tools. I recently swore off my long-lasting and habitual embrace of the Lee-Valley catalog, Highland Tools, and the web for tools. Yes, I know tool lust is addictive. Once you’ve embraced it, it is hard to deny it. But as anyone who has seen the photos of my carving shop knows, it is crammed. It was a tough, but necessary conclusion.
To add more tools to it would require me to build an annex. The annex’s cost would be onerous. My wife might finally put her foot down. She is very patient with me, but I dread testing the limits.
Besides, to build an annex, I’d have to buy some more tools. I’ll have a list ready for tomorrow.

LOL! I am familiar with men’s tool lust… It ain’t pretty! Glad you voted down an annex.. for now. 😉
haha! Came full circle on that one, didn’t you?! 😂
You’d literally need a boat for the boatload of stuff needing stored, hehe… hugs
I’m with you but I did just buy a new paintbrush. Anything for the Rainbow Girls
Well brushes ware out, so they are a renewable.
That’s true…
Oh, Lou! You always make me laugh. I bet you have your list already. I have no understanding of the tool addiction, says the quilter with three machines and tools for sewing hiding under the island. I almost bought it’s replacement today but walked the store and put it back at the last minute. It’s a normal addiction and much better than therapy, alcohol, or cigarettes. I call it and investment in my sanity. 🙂
I agree there are much worse things to get hooked on. But remission is only one clever ad away. I almost got caught on a nice buy today, but told the Devil to get behind me!
