Man cave is becoming a reality
Converted half the basement into my space. Got the old leather couch down there now, a mini fridge, dartboard, sound system. Put in some work to paint and get it looking decent. Wife said it actually looks good down there which surprised me. Planning to watch the playoffs here and have the guys over for poker night next month. Finally have somewhere to be a dad off duty.
Half the basement is perfect because you're still close enough to help with dad duties but far enough away to decompress. Smart move.
