Default giant storage - where does you plane sleep?!?

My problem is acute - My wife and I are in a two bedroom apt. Here's my solution (if you can call it that).

How do the rest of you hide your planes?

If the weather here permitted it, I'd do the same. Lets see a pic of your trailer!

Here are a couple of mine; taken @ NEAT. All the planes on the ground came and left in that little grey box (4'X4'X8').

Man I can't believe that your wife lets you do that! I know where my planes would be stored if I tried that...a big round garbage can:22a:

Lucky for me I have a new 5X10 v-nose and a garage with a high ceiling where my planes are out of site (and she can't add up how much is invested Heh Heh!)

is your garage heated? My trailer is in a covered parking lot, but I'm worried about what -30C (-22F) would do to my planes if I left them there!

Capcanuck, clean looking trailer setup you have there, what material are you using for the top floor?
And as far as keeping my planes in the house,.............I'd be dead meat.....consider yourself lucky your wife is that understanding, one day all that WILL change,..........lol.
I keep mine either in the garage or in the trailer, but then again I live in a little warmer climate that you guys...............Calif.

you think that's funny... I even have a plane on the wall in the bedroom; didn't post that 'cause my wife was sleeping in there.

We need some pics of DAVEORCC's apt. Might be worse than mine!

Nice shop Jack, I'm envious. My shop is the upstairs loft in my condo. 8'x12'.

I have airplanes stored under the stairs, on the walls, in the bedroom, in the loft, in the downstairs closet, and in my trailer.

I'll have to take some pictures, its funny.
