Very true. You can paint, then kick back in the recliner and watch some t.v.

unfortunately, idiots are not an endangered species.
but everyone I have met from FordBarn seems to be way above average.
sort of like the children in Lake Woebegone MN........

Hang in there Bob! I bet there are darn few Model A people that haven't stored newly painted parts inside the house at some point in their life. During some of my early restorations when my back bed room got filled up with restored and freshly painted parts it was very likely that some parts would end up stored in the living room for a few weeks. I applaud your efforts in redoing your Model A yourself.

I believe Marco's Web site has a photo of parts being stored in his spare bedroom...

I've had parts to 4 different cars stored in spare rooms at my house in the past. The shop was full, so I had no other choice!

My old bedroom at my parent's house still has car parts in it, along with Corvette fiberglass and Harley parts.

Freshly painted or chromed parts hanging on the wall are better than any of those high hat/stiff neck art paintings any day.

Since we're on the subject, who else has sat down in the recliner to watch a little TV and assemble parts at the same time?

I can not count how many times that happens especially in the winter. Rod

Yep, I'm sitting on the couch in the living room making another batch of voltage regulators right now. The dipping acid for the circuit boards is in the kitchen on the bread board.
