Here's another one. When I am out on a weekend ride for longer than three hours I start getting texts from husband and daughter... "Are you dead somewhere?" "When are you coming home?" etc...
I'm trying to get some mileage dangit (and I haven't seen the rest of the trail yet.)

I think it's weird. The living room should be as comfortable and accommodating for guests as possible IMO.
Put them in your bedroom instead if you don't have extra storage space. That's what I do in my 1br apt.

I ignore the cracked vinyl siding on my house but I wipe my bike down when it gets just dirty enough that it bugs me. It doesn't take much

I don't live in a 1br apartment. Formal living room is nearest the front door and bedrooms are upstairs.
Sorry I wasn't specific. House is getting too big for me anyway as the kids go off to college.
