books are a possibility but would possibly get charred up/black if left there with a real fire. some bricks?

Thinking about building a bookcase around it or something.... Any ideas?

This is what I'm working with-

It wont be that nice..... Going with an electric insert probably. I was thinking gas would be nice but then again, running that pipe ain't my cup of tea. ;)

Here are a few more updated pictures for anyone who is interested. Today we painted the trim and put the final coat on the walls. Still waiting for my last door to arrive so I can wrap this room up and move on to getting some furniture.

I really need a wide angle lense to capture the entire room.

A little west of Richmond. My father is from Norfolk. Ever heard of Killam Avenue in Norfolk? ;)

:) No football, soccer, baseball, basketball gets watched in this house....

Will be nice for watching movies and playing video games. :dance:

Bought two nice ceiling lights today and hung those. Moving right along.

srsly? no sports at all?

do you not like them? I'm pretty sure my brother's house never has sports on either (except when I'm in town), so I get it, it just seems surprising

Just can't seem to get interested in watching them on the tv? A real, live game, now that's a different story. :)

Worked on my fireplace a little more the last few days. I put plywood over the concrete wall and then added the oak plywood over it. Then I added the mantle. As you can see I still have plenty more to do.

I've also added two ceiling fans. I'm going with the mission/craftman style.

Wow, wow, wow..I'm blown away so far!

You must be strutting about in there with your toolbelt on, a cigar in one hand and an ale in the other thinking "F*** ME, I'M GOOD!"



PS, Winchestor leather sofa's would go well

Wouldn't it be cool if it had the fortune tellers head inside that gives you the ticket with your fortune? :r

Really though, it's a humidor made for Perdomo. It's called the Perdomo Museum Humidor I believe.


Heading down to get a photo of one of the new lights. Still have to get three more like this one.

Had a great time on Saturday smoking in the cave with my dad and Jon. My dad brought me my great, great, great grandfathers Masters Certificate framed for my man cave wall! I took a few pictures of it to share. Talk about awesome! :)

As you can see, I have yet to finish the minor things in the cave. Still don't have my furniture or a few of the lights for the walls. I stole the couch and coffee table from the downstairs family room. :lv I know, I'm a slacker.
