My Hubby has a 28x40 Pole Barn with his own furnace, Bathroom, AC, Tv, and Loads of Huge RC Model AirPlanes, I mean 1/2 , 1/4, and 3rd scale I just spent $800.00 for two engines to go on 1 airplane. I think he is the winner by far. Lor in Michigan. By the way the building is all drywalled and painted. The only think missing is the bed.

My DH has his computers, including an I Pad(I'm gonna have to pry that out of his cold dead hands-or whatever the newest version is at the time), his bicycles, kayaks, 77 MG convertible and football.

Yes, mine had to built a 3 bay pole barn, as well, to store all his tools and his tractor, and one car. Mine!!! His truck has to sit outside! HeeHee! He has a wood stove and lots of shelves inside for tools. He likes to go out there and start a fire and be able to get warm. Jan

My husband does wood working and is really good at it. It is an expensive hobby (like mine ) so he doesn't get mad at me when I buy my toys. His last saw, a SawStop was over $2000.00 so he owes me big time! lol

I call my husband the 'Gadget Man'. He can't pass up a tool or gadget. He fishes - Boat, gear, ect. He hunts - Guns, guns and more guns, plus all the gear and 40 acres to hunt. Tractor to manage the 40 acres. He is quite the handyman - Tools, Tools and more tools, Pole barn to tinker in. He golfs - clubs, shoes, and golf outings. He likes vidio games - Wii, intendo, playstation, and computers. Married 40 years this year, retired 1 1/2 years, and I finally got my sewing room. Took his office. No way can I catch up to his level of toys. Been sewing since I was 7.

My DH is into computers and other electronic gadgets, and his boat. Plus golfing equipment, golf balls, golf outings and an annual trip to the Masters to round it out.
He spends plenty but hey, it's OK with me.
