Man Cave Under Construction

[LIPIPE]

My advice...keep your manspace under wraps. If your local tax assessor finds out, the building inspector comes out, you get told to put a whole house sprinkler system in and your assessment hits your ceiling. Your smokes get mighty expensive if you know what I mean.

That looks great!

Work is still progressing albeit slowly (it's been hot in Pittsburgh like everywhere else, and the Man Cave isn't air conditioned - yet.) So progress has been limited. I apologize for the grainy images, I'll try to get better ones later this summer, however, you can see the library paneling (done in very dark "Jacobean") and the ceiling is a tongue-and-groove pine board. The walls not covered in wood paneling will be painted a colonial grey. Although still a work in progress, it's been great for regular smoking (FMOTT, Penzance, Dunhill My Mixture 965), listening to baseball games (Go Buccos!), and some history reading. Thanks for the interest.

You´re welcome - thanks for showing the development. I like it very much. Always great to see, how you people build those rooms in the US - it´s so different from here, where only very few persons appreciate the exeptional advantages of wood as a construction material, such as the atmospheric environment. The paneling looks very beautiful and reminds me of stained maple wood.

Kind regards

Very nice cave! Wish my attic had enough space for a man cave.

Every man should have a shed, or a man cave. Somewhere he can disappear to. Good luck on the construction. let uls see it when it is all finished.

Wonder if this ever got done.

I don't know, but a quick scroll through the thread, I saw several posters that I miss seeing on here now. I hope things are going well with all of them.
