BR2K My walls measure 13'x40'. Directly in front of my door is my 3'x3'x6' tent. Flap usually open.
See, most folks open a door when someone comes, but few will open the door all the way. That would give up false security for person opening the door. A barrier between inside and outside. Even if the person at the door comes inside, the door stay in your hand.
If some nefarious person comes inside, my tent is zipped up and nothing more than extra storage.
When Mrs. Garrett found one of the girls had a bong, they called it a pencil holder.
Open it up and put a bunch of in-shell walnuts and pecans and such. Tell people it's an industrial nut cracker. Organize them. Don't be a slob.
In conclusion, I'd like to say it's all about who you want to see, and who you don't want to see what you are and/or are not doing.
