I have an icom 7k as well as a flexradio 3000 for the MH

Since i work DX during morning grayline, i leave the flex3000 inside the MH and just take my laptop and headset outside and sit somewhere she can't hear me (it could be also sitting inside the toad so nobody can hear me talking). My laptop has a 9hr battery so i don't need AC power.

I just have to run long firewire and ethernet cables

I also record my call sign and play them when contacting DX so that she doesn't keep hearing my call sign over and over again.

I also ask her to use the roof ac/heat pump in the morning that takes care of such issues when i can't step outside due to bad weather (assuming we are not dry camping).

If nothing else, i just don't get on the air. I know that i will miss that DX today, but will have an opportunity another day to work him. It has never failed except for dxpeditions.
