Twice a year I'd open it up and show it to the neighbors, probably charge a fee too. <br /><br />Left over from my years as the sole cook for the kids, I have a large cabinet that only has plastic containers for uneaten food, if I toss them out I'll probably store fly tying materials and spare fishing equipment. <br /><br />How about we trade houses for a few weeks, say in July, it should stop snowing by then and you can work your wonders while I re-clutter your place?
