Smokin Gator's Man Cave

Smokin Gator · 04-19-2009, 07:47 AM

Some you know that my wife and I are doing a major remodel on a house and will be moving into it in June. The house has a small area off the master bedroom with a spa. Neither one of us really cared anything about the spa so I talked my wife into letting me make it into a man cave. Here are some pics of the beginnings of my new home inside my home:

This is from the bedroom door looking out into the area. The floor will be tile.

This is from were the windows looking back in. The bedroom door is on the right. The two vinos will go under that window.

The brick wall is where the big screen TV will be mounted. The door to the left is the bedroom door. To the right is a door to the side yard and large windows

This is the view looking out onto the side yard. It will be privacy glass - not that there is really anyone to look in. The door is being replaced with a fiberglass door. The rest is all windows.

This is from the outside looking in.

They are putting a duct for heat/air, a pvc ceiling, and a ceiling fan in. I am mounting a smoke eater on the wall opposite the TV.

It is not very large, maybe 120 sq ft, but I am really excited to have a place to smoke in the house.

I will update the thread as progress is made.

Sweet looking place to start with and you seem to have thought it out pretty well. Best of luck on the "cave', Brent.

That looks awesome! Can't wait to see the progress!

That's awesome. This just gives me inspiration for my future man cave.

Oh yes... this should be done in the next few weeks. Well... I may not have the TV for a little while, but the room itself will be done.

The door opens out on the side of the house where the herf barn will be. I'm hoping that will be done by Nov.

Well... the herf barn has become a huge want. I have several smokers and wanted a place for them with a three bay sink and a prep area. The barn kind of grew out of that. It will be 20 X 40 with ten feet being enclosed. The eclosed part will be the kitchen. The rest is open with ceiling fans to help keep it cool. It should serve the CCHC well.

That looks like a great space to work with Brent. Can't wait to see how it comes together.
