Wish I could have such luck with my garage but not even close.
Wife has her adjacent room that I have to pass through to get to mine but I don't mess with her stuff there either. Actually the whole house is her space, my man cave is mine. If I leave stuff out it gets put in the man cave or bedroom or someplace. I'm ok with that.
It works good. So you coming over to visit my personal space. Maybe we should come up with a new name for man cave.
Trying to remember what Hugh Hefner called his inner sanctum. That might work.
For the record, if I was in a 40' camper for 8 or 9 months a year with my wife or any other human regardless of gender identity I'd be licking windows and lying on railroad tracks. I need a bit more space and room options.
Course the older I get the more I'd much prefer just staying home too. I like it here, I'd like it anywhere home is, just prefer to stay there.
I don't even like to go to work, I'd rather stay home.
