Oh happy day. 
So your wife finally knows how big they really are now. She didn't freak out I hope.
Actually, she has been amazingly supportive--- except for the couple of weeks when I used the dining table as a work space for building a vacuum pump, giant bag, and attempts to veneer the side panels

which led to a couple of heated diatribes

. There are limits to the patience of even the sweetest of wives.
