Ahhhhhh,... okay Doug .

Hard to believe that the "new carpet" was installed 8 years ago! Every time the the carpet was to be cleaned somehow the door was locked and I was at work with the key  8) I was the only one who went in there! It was fine.

Well my son give me a combo lock for the Phone Room. I love the convenience as there are EIGHT grandchildren roaming the halls.

Janet cleaned the carpets yesterday and they came out fantastic. I was working from home and was pleasantly surprised. Carpet still look new....Doug

My four year old granddaughter, Mirabelle got into my Phone Room Thursday and said "Grampy you have way too many Telephones." That is the exact count I have!!...Doug

Removed one? I see plenty of room for a coffee table or maybe even a display case in the middle of the room...  ;D

You'd better be careful, Doug. This could become an obsession.

Nice collection. Now, how many of them are hooled up and working? Or do you have a bench where selected phones can be hooked up?

I enjoy your postings. I'm surprised we haven't run into each other...I'm right down the road in Holliston.

I see Doug hasn't posted anything since this thread in June, and that seems abnormal for him. Does he even still have posting access here?

From what we see of member activity, Doug logs into the forum several times a day.

He uses this thread to show off his room of phones to everyone, usually with yearly photos. I guess now the room is closed to new additions as per his post above, there is nothing to show other than a bit of rearranging, dust removal or cleaning the carpet again.
