Building a man cave
 

I recently bought a house, a 3 story house with an indoor garage on the ground floor. Behind the garage there were 2 rooms of about 108 square feet each. First thing me and a buddy did was rip out the wall that divided the rooms

That left me with one room, approx 215 square feet big.

Next thing: getting rid of that funky wallpaper

Then the construction started

tomorrow we're gonna lay a new floor, hopefully we have some time to install the system for the shelves.

No paint inside the humidor but the walls of the man cave will be ocherous with plenty of cigar art on the walls, a hand painted El Brujito on one wall and all the American license plates too.

Re: Building a man cave
 

Looking good, but I could have done without the wallpaper photos. I'm having serious flashbacks of the seventies.

Just curious, how old is the home? The wallpaper was psychedelic.

Was looking at this yesterday again wondering when new pics would be put up.

Re: Building a man cave
 

moving took time, add a few days without internet and there's the delay ;)

tonight I hung the temporary curtains (ok, the curtains aren't temporary but the system is). A Nicaraguan flag, a Dominican flag and for the other 2 windows I will use the Cuban flag I have (but its still boxed up somewhere) and i'm waiting on a Honduran flag.

Re: Building a man cave
 

Very nice, Ferdie.
There's nothing like having a nice, indoor smoking spot! :)

Re: Building a man cave
 

come over some time Dom, and bring Gerry.

Re: Building a man cave
 

I don't think Gerry is permitted to travel internationally. ;)
