Wives just do not appreciate our hobbies. : )
As for the smell. You should get a de-humidifier for the room and if the
room is carpeted, you need to use a carpet cleaner ever couple of months.
The carpet would be the main culprit to the smell, most likely. Do you
have a ceiling fan in the room? This could help keep humidity stable and
the room cooler. Invest in a crate of Baking Soda and open up a few
boxes and leave them about the room in strategic locations to absorb the
smell.
What you really need to do is build a shed out back like I did. : )
