Ridiculous.

Any OCers have their own man cave? I'm working on putting mine together at the moment. I have two rooms on our third floor that I am turning into my space since we don't have a finished (or finishable) basement. Post pics if you've got 'em.

I can't stop looking at pictures of basements on that site. It makes me sad to know that unless i win the lottery I'll never have a home like that ha.

Try getting a degree at Ohio State. It's like winning the lottery, but you can sleep at night knowing you earned it.

I wouldn't care if i earned the money or not and I would have no problem telling people it was from the lottery ha.

Work hard for 100k a year or luck into millions...i'll take the latter every time.

Anyways - the mancaves and basements on that site are fucking amazing.

My basement has a sectional, mounted tv, and a beer fridge with a mini keg tap. Nothing like those but it does the trick.

The guy that owns that place never lifted a single tool to get it looking like that - not a real man's cave.

No way. Tiernan built a nicer garage by hand. He also built his own Ferrari.

How does that qualify as a man cave without a big screen, couches and a beer tap?

I kind of agree with Tiernan. That's not so much a man cave as a "look how much cash I wasted" cave.

I assume the ferrari makes up for that. It's more an ultimate garage than man cave.

Indeed. That's why I added the "/Garage." They called it a man cave but it is more of just a garage. Would be pretty easy to convert to a man cave. The loft space already has a bar. Just throw a tv on the wall and a nice leather sectional and you're good to go. Add some sport memorabilia to the wall for good measure.

Sweet couch for a video game nerds man cave.

Looks like it wouldn't be too difficult to build yourself if you had decent woodworking skills. A few sheets of plywood, some high density foam, leather, and a lot of time.

A true man cave should have some sweat equity in it.

The lack of Beer Cellars for a man cave make that site a joke. Need a beer cave.

I have a closet. Its big, I have tools in it, and my beers. I'm looking into getting a chair that fits in there and an outlet for TV.

No man cave should EVER house an electric car (unless it's an electric golf cart for hauling beer and tools).

No sports memorabilia on the walls, No mounted deer heads on the walls, That is not a man cave.
