Finally finished my man cave setup after a year

Apr 121 min read

Got the last piece in yesterday, a vintage beer sign I've been hunting for forever. Got a pool table, mini fridge stocked with actual drinks not just stuff the kids drink, a nice TV setup for games, some arcade games on the walls, and a big sectional that my wife actually hates but that's the whole point right? Cost me way more than she knows. Spent every weekend out here for the past month just enjoying the fact that I finally have a space that's mine. Kids knock before coming in now which is hilarious. Best investment I've made in myself in years.

A year to complete it shows real patience. I vacuum the garage and call it good enough. You clearly take pride in your space though which is respectable. Does your family hang out in there with you or is it strictly your zone?

Nice setup. I've been slowly building my own garage retreat. Found a working pinball machine at a garage sale last month for forty bucks. The hunt is half the fun right? What was the hunt like for that beer sign?

That vintage beer sign is the perfect finishing touch! We just got our game room ready for serious Catan tournaments and I gotta say, having that dedicated space changes everything. Your family's gonna love hanging out in there.

A year well spent! That's the kind of project that pays dividends. Pool table plus a stocked fridge sounds like the perfect setup for some quality time with friends and family.

Congrats on finishing it! That's a solid accomplishment. Question though - are the kids allowed in the man cave or is that your sacred space?

That vintage beer sign must look perfect in there. I finished my basement last year and that final piece really does tie the whole thing together. Now my kids actually want to hang out down there with me instead of hiding upstairs.

A year is dedication. Pool table is the move for a man cave. My daughter and I play sometimes and she's getting scary good at it.

That vintage beer sign is a nice touch. A man cave done right is a peaceful place. What game are you playing most on the pool table? Eight ball tournaments or just casual with the kids?
