Herr J hopes I'll find something that pays obscenely so he can stay home and eat bon-bons and do man stuff like build things in the back yard.

I'd be OK with this plan, as he's a really great cook. And of course I'd have all kinds of cool things in the back yard.

Amusing step by step instructions are at Instructables

Homemade Backyard Rollercoaster

DIY Rocket Sled

Homemade Batman Tumbler

It's both good and bad to have an engineer in the house....
