A: Unfortunately, I'm not Dear Abby, so I don't want to step into personal territory by suggesting how to handle relatives. I might be able to provide some suggestions on cutting the electric bill a bit and preserving some of your sanity. You probably won't be able to change their sitting-around habits (presumably watching television or tapping away on their laptops, if you say they're running up the electric bill). Talk with your wife about getting away together for an evening or two during their visit, or schedule a get-together with your friends one night. To save electricity turn the heat a few degrees cooler or turn the air conditioning a few degrees warmer. Not out of your comfort zone, but just a little less

As far as your workshop goes, that's pretty easy. Set limits. Politely ask, or have your wife ask, your in-laws to stay away from the shop area. You don't need to give an excuse. As added insurance, lock the door to the shop—as long as it doesn't impede safe exit from the house in an emergency.
