Man cave is finally finished and it's a game changer

2w ago·1 min read

Converted the basement into a little retreat. Got a couch, mini fridge, beer tap, some gaming stuff, and most importantly a door that closes and locks haha. The kids know it's dad space. I spend maybe 2-3 hours down there on weekends.

Took me longer to build than I thought because I did it all myself but it was worth it. Not even about gaming or drinking as much as just having a place that's completely mine. Wife gets it now. Everyone's happier when I have that space to decompress.

This is the dream right here. My basement is just piles of kid stuff and holiday decorations. A man cave with a beer tap sounds like actual paradise. Good on you for creating that space.

The fact that you made a functioning retreat space while also being a dad is impressive. Most of us just collapse on whatever chair is available at the end of the day. What's your gaming setup like?

A beer tap in the basement is next level. That's the kind of setup that makes every day after bedtime feel a little more like a victory. How long did the whole conversion take you?

Okay so real question - did your wife agree to this easily or did you have to make your case? I want something similar but I'm worried about the pushback.

The mini fridge is genius. So you can actually have your own space without going upstairs every five minutes. That's what I need.
