Been moving into the new house since March.  Finally got the man cave operational; 288 ft2 floor space, 41.5 ft2 of bench space, and 121.5 ft2 of off floor storage (so far).

Wisdom is merely the realization of how little one knows, therefore I am wise.

Really great stuff Ron. You've earned it. Just one question.....where does the pole go? wowbig-grin

To the paranoid people who check behind shower curtains for murderers:

if you find one...what's your plan?

Ron, That looks like a great place for some quality time !  I like the work benches. They resemble ones I have been looking at in Harbor Freight. Where did you get yours ?

Enjoy

They're HF.  I pulled coupons from different sources and ended up getting them for about $130 ea.  There are two manufacturers or styles though.  The first few have hardwood shelves and drawers, the second set I purchased were not as well made- using pressboard shelving and drawer parts.  There seemed to be a slight difference in packaging colors and if you want, I can send pics of them to show the difference.

I have always found the term "Man Cave" to be a demeaning feminist way of bashing men. No I'm not a cave man. I prefer to call my space The King's Lair.

Not certain how a berm ended up being positioned in line with the man cave window.  Second coincidence is the exhaust fan near the window as well.  Now to figure out what to do with a setup like that...

Amazing how karma can make things happen isn't it? A view like that begs to be put to use.
