Wow, and I thought I was read the riot act for washing some greasy
towels in the Washing machine!!!

My wife has already stated that after we move and I build my shop, I was
going to have a shower si I can bathe before entering her house.  Fred
has suggested an oven for curing powder doated parts, now Doug came up
with the idea of cleaning parts in a dishwasher.  With my office
included, I think I'll just build a full living quarters and kitchen. 
That way I won't even have to leave the immediate area.  8^)
