This comment tells me a great deal about you. In particular, that:
1: Your wife likes the finer things in life
2: You make stuff with the end objective of selling it.
3: You don't like excitement.
4: You are making money.

On the other hand, BYW's (Back Yard Wizards) usually operate on a limited 
budget which iis on the wrong side of adequately funded, have wide ranging 
interests, they strive for understanding, and take great pleasure 
demonstrating their self-reliance and creativity by building something for 
$2 when the finished product is commercially available for $1. BYW's only 
bother to make stuff safe and nice looking when "The Wife", "The Grand 
Children" or "The Customer" might get near their work in progress. The 
Laboratory of a BYW is usually equipped with a beer cooler whose major 
purpose is to encourage visitations by vocal Appreciators of 
resourcefulness.

I bet your shop even has spray paint and a broom!

Best wishes,

Kevin
