wife piles stuff on the home pool table

Well, Michael, in the words of our dear departed friend, Grady "The Professor" Mathews. "When your wife can tell the difference between an orange and a five ball, it's time to get a new wife."

It's all about framing. When my wife and I were house-hunting, I pointed out to her that if we had a table in the house, I would be able to stay home instead of having to go out to the pool room all the time to practice.

Before I knew it, she was giving the real estate brokers the dimensions we needed to fit a 9-footer. :grin:

Funny you should mention, we just had an offer accepted on a house yesterday. One of the requirements was having enough room for a table :thumbup:

Always nice to have an understanding wife! (or one that likes you enough to want to keep you at home).

Congrats to you both. I did the exact same thing. Got my table a month ago. :thumbup: It's in my signature if you want to check out the table.

To the OP. Sorry your wife does not respect your table. If chalk were to get on her stuff maybe she'll think twice next time, wink wink. Oh and get rid of that hideous black cloth lol.
 
I asked my wife back in 2007 "Honey can I get rid of the Olhausen and get a custom 9 ft Diamond with Dymondwood rails and she thought about it for a second and said sure if I can use it for a laundry folding table.



DEAL:grin:
 
My wife had stacked stuff on my Centennial, I asked her if she knew what was on my pool table,,she answered,,do you know whats on my stove top (don't ever do this by the way)
I answered,,,,,Dust
 
The house we bought a year a go had one room that could fit a table. It's a100+ year old home so the first floor had a sitting room, living room, a big dining room and a huge kitchen. She loved the house and always wanted a monster kitchen so I made it simple. If you want that big kitchen then were no longer having a sitting room. That becomes the living room, the other becomes the dining room and the big room becomes my pool room. her answer was DEAL! lol I've been playing for 25 or more years..she loves me finally having the room I always wanted as much as I love her having the huge kitchen she has. Good wife!
 
I had RKC come in and work his magic on my GC3. My wife watched as Glen spent 6 days working his magic, much as she watched while I spent 20+ hours re-finishing all of the wood. She was made aware of the rules (no drinks or food near the table, cat not allowed in the basement, don't chalk directly over the table, if you see someone about to do something stupid (trying a jump shot, etc.,) STOP them, and so on. She didn't argue because she knew I wasn't asking for opinions or making suggestions, I was explaining how the table was to be treated.

You shouldn't have to tell your wife twice to stop doing that. It's common sense and common curteousy. It's a pool table, not a storage bin/laundry table/junk drawer. Tell her one more time to stop putting ANYTHING on your table, then start destroying anything of hers that touches it until she learns.

Sounds harsh and heavy handed, but some people don't take hints so well.
 
thanks everyone, some of the ideas I will pass on:

1) divorce (too expensive and she would make me saw the table in half) :bash:
2) kill her and wrap the body in the table cover (would solve the problem, but illegal in most states) :nono:
3) put away all her stuff and put out candles for her (this only appies to couples who are "dating", we are married !)

Best answers:

1) put her stuff under the table until she gets the hint
2) put my big boy pants on and tell her how the table is to be treated.
3) rip out the black cloth.
 
It looks like you guys have a bit of wall and floor space there.

Search ikea, amazon, etc., for storage ideas with hooks and shelves. The hooks for keys, coats, clothes, and that nice purse there. Shelves, baskets, bins for all the other stuff.

Ikea

Amazon "wall storage"


And the proper answer to what to tell a woman with two black eyes?
**Nothing. It's too hard to talk through a mouth full of loose teeth.
