I find it is of the utmost importance to convince one's wife that they actually want you to build your project, then they only have issue with how long it takes.I built most of the parts for an airplane in the living room. She divorced me just after the plane was flying, but hey, I got the airplane.
I have never tried building a plane in my living room before. My reputation for taking forever to complete projects would make convincing her to let me take over the living room for a project like that, near impossible. However, I think I have her convince we need to build a boat together. The next step is to convince her it needs to be 50' long. Not in the living room, though.
