Quoted from Silverstreak02:I admit the garage idea was one of desperation. I'd like to put it somewhere in the house, but all the bedrooms are taken and even walking into the formal living and dining room is asking for trouble. I have to try rearranging my office. Thanks for all the responses. I assume fixing the machine in the garage will be OK for a short time.
Keep fighting for the formal living and dinning area. I did and finnally won. Explain how silly it is to have a part of your house that almost never gets used.
