To be fair about it, the room I'm working in is unused most of the time and The hide a bed in there is like 30 years old. The Piano is mostly a joke-it was 150 bucks and I bought it to make my mom play when she visits because she won't play anymore and she was really talented. The wood floors look decent, but they are cupped and I plan to sand and refinish them once all my existing projects are out of the way. All my work in there is pretty clean stuff-I move it to the garage for painting and anything that could make a mess that could not be cleaned up.
The alternatives were to work in the garage and park my 2014 car under the trees, work in the basement which has no direct access to the house, is unheated and has all my woodworking and metalworking tools and a couple of motorcycles and lots of spare car parts in it It's 600 square feet filled with 700 square feet of stuff.
I decided that it was build it in the house and take my time to be sure I did everything to a level I would be happy with, or pay someone to do it for me and not be a part of the build I was managing. that wasn't okay with me.
As to the dishwasher. . . yeah, if I was married I wouldn't pull that crap, but it was pretty friggin' clean when I put it in there and I cleaned the dishwasher afterwards, it is spotless.
I know it may be hard to imagine, but I am a bit of a clean freak. My hands are red and cracked from all the washing I tend to do.
Now the fact that I use furniture like a sideboard and a highboy to store tools and motorcycle and small car parts (only new and clean ones) is probably a bit more eccentric, but they cost less than tool cabinets and are much more substantial. Yeah, I admit it I'm odd, but if you read my oposts, you know that.
I expect to complete engine assembly this weekend if my rings arrive today
