    When you wake up at 3:00 am and can't sleep :) because hubby has told you you can change the gazebo into an egg hut. :kiss: and you are trying to figure out octagonal egg tables and storage and small frig's and what the counter will be and what the floor will be and you just have to get up and sign on to Whiz's site to look at all the tables again. :huh: And hubby does not understand why you want him to wake up and be eggcited too. unless it is for something else :whistle:

    When you wake up at night trying to rationalize getting another egg for you and your wife when you already have three.

    My personal favorite is friends and family saying "You have a WHAT?" and then after you show them what a BGE is, they give you an even stranger look and the longer you talk the more distance they start putting between you. It's really bad when you don't have the opportunity to cook for them and they leave just thinking you've gone over the edge. :blink:

    Funny, one of my sons teammates dad heard me say I had one. Asked about it and I kept talking, he started backing away. Then he finally bought one. Now he seeks me out and starts asking/talking egg info. immediately. :woohoo:

    Or You buy a 12' long stainless cabinet to put your eggs in and before you start working on it you have too many eggs to fit them all in.

    Hey Steven, when are you going to put your eggs in that table?
    I got one similar to that but it’s not as long and it doesn’t have doors on the front of it.

    Oh I’ve got a funny story. Myself, my daughter and my daughter’s future mother in law (Nancy) went out one night together and we took my camera with us. My daughter took a couple of pics then decided to show Nancy the stored pics on the camera ,,, theres a pic of the dog and my dads truck he had up for sale and Ohh ya Ummm my mom’s chicken and ummmm a meatloaf and oh ya the stew……….. Nancy looks at my daughter and say’s “your mother takes a pic of her food!!!!?” The look on her face was priceless she was horrified that her son was going to marry into a family of nuts LOL
    My daughter said OMG mom that was sooo embarrassing LOL

    I have the design in my mind. I am out of my house because of a fire and a ridiculous restoration process. I think I am going to go with two large and a small in the table to give me some workspace. I got this from a used restaurant equipment place and I can get another piece for my other two eggs. Right now, I'm working on a stamped concrete deck. Once that is finished I'll get the cutting and welding done. Hopefully I will be finished by July. I'll post pictures of the process as it is moving along.
