I have a basement full of stuff like that.

I love it.

My cat loves it. TOO much (the prevert... when she gets in there, it lends
new meaning to the expression "LAUNCH THE INTRUDER!"... boot, meet cat...)

My wife HATES it (natural following-comment withheld due to innate survival
instinct).

Suffice to say the slit trench (with overhead protection) in my backyard
rarely stays unoccupied. Me 'n the cat get along fine in neutral territory...
:-)

Oh well...
