I'll tell you what to do, get a male Klicky dressed in a suit & tie,....type a letter on your computer, & down size it to Klicky size. Make sure it looks in legal format. The letter should have in its contents the statement of the "right to collect", & charges for cleaning, washing clothes, cooking, child care charges itemized for your payment for said services, & anything else you take care of, fold it & put it in the male Klicky's hand, & approach your husband & say this letter is for you, make sure that you give him a magnifying glass, & say "you've been served!" ;)

 :lol: I love it! I will have to try that.

Bill he spoils me rotten and makes all the money....so i really can't complain!

I read an article a little while ago that women (or guys) who stay home and do all the housework if they were charging for their services would be making six figures a year. So unless your husband makes more than that, you can say you make more money so you deserve a bigger Playmobil budget ;D

I displayed as much as possible on shelfs in my office. When I got evicted by my wife i had to move it to a barn and again I chose shelfs. Now I need to empty the barn

OFfice



barn





tried to use indoor oak shelfs that do not look bad but most of it will not fit. It needs to go to the garage but I want to see it all. I chose to start putting it all in clear plastic boxes


I want to see all my playmo all set up and I think I will start hanging it from the ceiling

The width of shelves is always an issue with Playmo.
There's a local recycle-reuse place that has a lot of building materials. I went down and picked up an old two panel closet door. Folded it out and put it on top of 4 low shelf units and it makes a great diorama table with lots of storage underneath. Being for a closet it's hollow core so relatively light to move around and has a nice finish as well. It's 4 feet wide by about 6 feet long.

I like having my stuff out, but I always have to put it away after a bit because it will get too dusty otherwise! And I couldn't have as much stuff as you guys even if I wanted to for lack of space, haha! :lol:

I agree Tim. The shelf for me needs to be no less than 12 inches. If I have buildings I want it to be no less than 24 inches wide

Tim, that's a great idea for a diorama table! It looks good, too, can't tell it's an old door.

So in the place we are at now I was able to set up the oak book cases

The living room is the main play area and still needs unpacking, especially the new treasures in the vacuum box  <:>


In our bed room I was only able to get a few rickety ikea shelfs.

In the garage you can see how I am sorting out the stuffed cardboard boxes for the clear tubs.
