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.

Wait: a man cave AND a herf barn? Dude....!

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

Skywalker · 04-20-2009, 10:20 AM

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.

I guess that means when you move down there, instead of an hour drive to meet you in Yulee, I will have to drive 2 hours to Ocala to smoke. Oh well that will give me a chance to go see my great aunt that lives there too.

Damn I can't wait to see the finished product!!!!

Oh yeah.

Whoa! You got brick walls! COOL! And regular ceiling joists for hanging the fans... hmmm.

Congrats on carving out your own cave! [applause]

I wish I had my own cave.

I was down at the new house yesterday working and though I would post an update on the Smokin' Gator Cave. It may not look like much... but there really has been progress!!

It is hard to see in the picture, but the box with the TV coax and phone line is in on the wall. The switch for the ceiling fan is also on that wall next to the door.

The ceiling fan mount is in the ceiling. The smoke eater is at the house and will be mounted on the back wall. The windows are ordered and should be in this week. The door is ready to put in. The AC duct work should be done this week. They are also running me a piece of PVC in the attic from just above where the TV will be to the back of the room. That way I can pull wires for surround sound/stereo/etc in the future.

I was also really surprised when he told me how many square feet it is. It is an odd shaped room so it was hard for me to guess... but I was thinking maybe 120 square feet. It is actually a little over 300.

Catfish · 05-03-2009, 06:10 AM

That is so sweet it's not even funny.

TripleF · 05-03-2009, 07:43 AM

I love bricks!!

Lookin' good Brent

rizzle · 05-03-2009, 09:44 AM

Gonna be a beauty!!

05-03-2009, 11:21 AM

That is going to be a great man cave.
