How much time do you spend in the workshop.

[frugal]

At waka's bash last weekend he mentioned that he was lucky enough to get out into the workshop pretty much every day. It got me to thinking: How much time do people on the forum spend in the workshop each day.

As I have a full time job and two small children, that accounts for my days and weekends, so I only get to go out a couple of evenings a week after my chores are done.

I can usually get out to the 'shop for about two or three hours each evening after supper and normally a complete day (if I'm lucky) at the weekend. A lot depends on whether or not SWIMBO has a vested interest :wink: :roll: - Rob

There's nothing after 40 hrs so can't vote. If there were I spend on average 55 hrs a week.

 

[Vormulac]

At the moment it's a big fat zero I'm afraid. The kids eat up any spare time I might have in the evenings or at weekends.

Damn, the forum edited my poll When I set it up the last option was ">40 hours". Now it seems that I can not edit the poll even though I created it.

"In the workshop" is all part of a much larger picture for me. There are occasions when I'm "out there" doing something but a lot of the time it's piecemeal as part of the to'ing and fro'ing of whatever I'm doing around the house. Cumulatively I'd say it amounts to 1.5 days per week.

If you asked how much time I spent in the workshop purely for leisure then it'd be zero.

I guess on average it works out a couple of hours a day. There's the odd day I won't go out there at all (usually due to pain) and sometimes if wifeys out for the day i'll get 4-6hrs broken up through the day.

That all stops tomorrow tho But will hopefully increase in the new year

Is this wife hours or real time? In wife hours every minute of the day apparently in reality 1 to 2 hours a week

...and therein lies the problem :roll: - Rob

Good luck tomorrow Tom.

I guess I'm lucky because I'm retired, also I think HID's is happy for me to be out of her way, and as someone else mentioned normally she has a vested interest.

Yes Tom good luck with the op, and while recuperating keep off the forum :wink:

Probably about 60-70hours during a busy week can be as little as 40 if i decide to take it easy 8)

Good luck with the Op, Wizer. If you've not had it before the general anaesthetic is great (assuming you're having GA).

I have added the > 40 hours for you.

Must agree with Mike, I have not managed very many hours at all this year, only 4or5 a week, last year it was much closer to 20.
