First! Ok guys, I want to see or hear, what is the man cave you are working out of, or the one you want to have! I started with a 24x24 gararge and installed a 6' window at the back that I found for $100 cause it was mismeasured. I drywalled, and cause Im an electrician, have a 100 amp panel in it with 240 plugs everywhere! Yes, we sparkys overdo it! Found some damaged formica countertops at home depot and got them for $20 and made a 10ft and 6 ft work bench. Pics to come. Also ran satty cable . Looking at getting a mobile home furnace this winter. Small and they blow out the bottom so the heat rises. They are great deals for a garage.

My man cave is actually my dad's shop. He has a nice shop with lots of stuff that makes working on cars alot easier. Through the years we restored 3 cars together, a 1929 Model "A" Roadster, 1946 Mercury Convertible and a 1946 Ford Business Coupe. You can't restore cars like that without having some space and itemse dedicated to the resotration hobby...er I mean obsession.
We have a sandblasting cabinet we converted out of a 275 gallon fuel oil tank, mig welder, body tools, metal lathe, and all sorts of hand tools.
The only downside is that fact my dad used to be in woodworking and the shop is also filled with doaens of woodworking machines. From a table saw to radial arm saw to joiner and planer, there is a bunch of machines that we have to work around when we have cars in there.
This is the shop where my '73 Roadrunner will see a piece by piece restoration. I will have to snag some pics of the shop when I get a chance...

I have a 40' X 64' Toy Box in the backyard. Built it in the summer of 2004. I thought that it would be the end-all to my garage space needs when I built it...I think I need another one just like it...  The attached pic taken of some of my junk in the yard shows the southwest corner of the building. Ray Attachments:

I wouldnt know how to act with that. This is the first time I ever had a garage that I didnt need to back up and get a rolling start to get a car into! The Harleys take up some room too  |
