    Anyone have a Mancave?

    Just recently putting one together myself and love it. I now have teenagers who want to watch shows on our family room tv that I have no interest in, my wife decorates most of our house which I generally like but nothing that I love and have finally decided to decorate "the mancave". Definitely a work in progress. I finally took the time to properly display my collectibles and is a visual display that appeals to me alone (in my house). I am now contemplating upgrading the mancave analog tv to HD since my kids hog our only HDTV to watch Teen Nick or some other teenage show that I can't stand. On the weekends; I basically barricade myself in the evening and sleep in the mancave. My wife doesn't mind (at least she hasn't said so) and it gives me an opportunity to catch up on some reading or movies I wanted to watch but never had a chance.

    Anyone besides me have one or putting one together?

    Yep, I have a similar refuge. I laid claim to our basement bedroom when we moved into our current house. It's where I keep my toy collection, books, computer desk, and this summer I added an HDTV and audio system. If I had a fridge and toilet in that room, I might never leave it.

        I'm working on it! Hopefully in the next few months I will have my own man cave . I can't wait to display my collection. I hate having it boxed up .

          I put a 2200 Sf addition on to my house in 2009, the top floor being my Mancave and office....700 sf room, houses the bar, entertainment center and my office.....toys on display as I like it....not too crowded but a nice variety of what I like.....it's still a partial work in progress as I have one wall I have not decided what to do with yet.
          we do have family movie nights every weekend up there but otherwise the kids are only allowed up there at my invitation

            Mine is 500 square feet basement room (we added on to the house..) that the wife painted and decorated while I was on my first deployment.

            50" plasma, Surroundsound 5.1 (wired behind the drywall..), and my guitars/amps in the corner.

            It's a very earthy, Starbucksy-color theme, cool Stones/blues pics up, separate bath/shower and wetbar.. Very relaxing, and it ROCKS.
