Storage - a followup

[martin_h]

This is where I store my kit - in the livingroom, her indoors is not to impressed, despite the potted plant trying hard to disguise it all. Christmas is coming up and I've been told I've got to shift it all...HoHum!

[tinvek]

you need to buy a bigger plant

[Doc]

How about one of those screens that hide things

[pvaz]

+1 on the bigger plant.

Maybe you could get one of those flat-backed Christmas trees that are meant to go up against a wall. Stick that in front of the lot - job's a good un

No prob. Change the plant for a big xmas tree and that will surely hide all the gear. It`s just that you won`t have any room for the presents.

[Talitha]

That's nothing, you should see my living room.

Whilst shifting your kit to a different location, maybe you could implant the idea of an obsy?

[martin_h]

No room for an obsy, and you wouldn't want to leave your gear out side around here anyway. But I could always do the xmas tree trick and wrap all the boxes up I suppose LOL

I have these two parked in the lounge. Much to the annoyance of my partner

Howabout putting the flight cases under the bed? SWMBO wouldn't let me keep my scopes in the lounge (the kids would probably wreck them anyway) and they ended up in the garage. I have managed to secrete a couple of cases upstairs recently though.

Thinking back, we had a 1935 James motorcycle in our front room for a lot of my child hood (ok it was almost restored and didn't leak oil). My dad was obviously able to get away with a lot more than I can!

LOL, this is how my dining room look pretty much all the time, luckily there is an obs just around the corner, and my fiancee has been very patient with 2 years of constant mess, with boxes full of leads, and eyepieces sitting around, basically complete loss of the dining room during that time. BUT I feel some day I will pay dearly for this

The box the smaller scope is sitting on is full of astro stuff, and there is a cupboard in the sitting room too. She'll be glad when it's all shifted outside....

Hiya! I use a Keter Store-it-Out which has been excellent. So it may be worth a look if you have a garden and enough space there?? We've had some heavy rainfall and the kit has remained dry, only the atmospheric humidity which I suppose you'd get in an obsy anyway! The only thing is to watch drips when you lift the lid and I'd recommend raising the kit off the bottom in case of flooding!

Any comments anyone??

I keep all my gear in my garage safe and covered up away from prying eyes and also cold enough that we use it as a second fridge in the winter .
