No sympathetic voices at all?...maybe I should resort the wonderful world of psycho-pharmacology. My co-pay for Xanex might well cheaper than building an escape bunker...I guess it does sound like a bunker. But no way my tools would either vanish or at the very least, be scattered all over the pace.

It sounds like a cool place, but my confusion about people wearing bracelets remains. I don't understand what you are talking about.

I think he means that no one will be able to approach the garage/shop unless he turns off the electric fence! Foolish move, how is the wife/daughters going to bring him beer and chips?

Oh, ok, now I get it.

Seems drastic, but a man's home and shop are his kingdom, I suppose.

At least I understand your forum name

Any idea what size building you're going with? Or is it 350 square feet?

Hard to figure out what you're saying with just sentence fragments...:tard:

Yeah, the bidet is a revenge facility. We lived overseas for a few years....she loved it. I like the idea that they can't get to it.

Building will be 40x45 and hold an RV, sailboat, lift shop area and a place for me.

You're installing a bidet in your shop apartment just so your wife can't get to it because of her electric shock bracelet?

I'm bowing out.

Well, not everything turns out as plans. Most all I said was to be taken facetiously...but don't you just want to be able to escape for a while?

Sometimes it feels that no good deed goes unpunished. I'm still building the garage...maybe just a mote and gate, no shock device.

Ok, facetious humor I can appreciate. But, there were no cues that it was humor, so none of us knew what to think!

Electric barriers to keep out the wife and kids... So he can be alone behind his re-enforced door with his bidet and king size bed...

Sounds fishy to me...

You must be missing the actual comedy potential of a bidet. Ever flush the toilet on your wife when she's in the shower? Now imagine flushing it when she's making use of a bidet.

You almost need a sedative to stop laughing. Of course, falling asleep over the next few days could mean putting yourself at risk....it's still worth it.

Those bidets can have some serious power. My dad started his plumbing career in the '50s. He has one in his house. When I was younger, I turned the water on to it and cranked up the pressure. The water stream actually went up and hit the ceiling!

Gotta be careful you don't give yourself a high colonic.

Now that would be hysterical. You have a bidet and next to it on a shelf you glue down three seashells. You have to glue them down lest someone actually try to use them.

And forget about that revoked man card. I have worked on a Citroen....you not only have to be a decent mechanic but a plumber as well. Hmm...maybe there is some kind of connection between Citroen's and Bidet's.

The thought of the whole scenario just makes me laugh.
