Pending project: The Man Cave. Up next after wiring the blazer I will be framing my version of the Man Cave. For those of you that "ask what is a Man Cave?" or "why do you need a Man Cave?" Here are your answers in reverse order:

I live with 4 daughters and my wonderful wife, my house is full of all kinds of girlness, I am looking for a place where I can be close to my family but in my own space.

I haven't quite decided what my version will be. I know that I want to have a woodburning stove, thick soundproof walls, and that the colors won't include anything that sounds like bottany beige, yellow lotus, windmill wings, or posy pink. Not that there is anything wrong with those colors, just not in my cave.

The only casualty from building the cave besides the money is that the girls will no longer have 1500sf of basement to ride their bicycles, jump on the mini trampoline, or throw balls in the wintertime, I will be limiting them to about 800sf.
