Make Shift Man Cave

cbsmokin · 02-13-2010, 02:18 PM

This 3" blizzard we have had in Atlanta has me going stir crazy. It has been cold and wet and keeping me from enjoying a cigar.
Until now, I'm cozied up in my kids play house. It's about six foot square. It's large enough to have my chair, laptop, drink and a play kitchen to prop my feet up on. We have had it for years. i can't believe I didn't think of it before. It has 3 nice functioning windows that let in plenty of light and air if I need it. Only problem seems to be a lack of ridge venting. A few holes with the drill should take care of that.

For now a jacket and body heat have me plenty warm. I can see myself dragging an extension cord out here for a portable heater if necessary. Or maybe a desktop fan in the summer.

Hmmmmmmm, what about a 100' HDMI cable and a small flat screen?

Anyone else smoke in a tiny inmate sized shack?

I wonder if MTV can do an episode of "Pimp my Play House?"

Whatever it takes.

I'm glad you posted the picture, Craig, when I saw "six foot square" on your original post, I am thinking 6 square feet....like 2 feet by 3 feet...and thinking, "Why in Hell would he do that?"

For a cigar man, for a cigar.....tell me you have not done some crazy things to have your time to enjoy a good cigar......for some of us a warm place is just as priceless.....

white_s2k · 02-13-2010, 07:59 PM

That rocks

And that's not a bad setup!! Bigger than I thought when I read your first post.. definitely need to get a 20" flat screen in there.

pennjones · 02-14-2010, 12:03 AM

I seriously lol'ed when I read this post. Then I looked at the playhouse and lol'ed more. All I picture is a giant guy squished into a tiny house. But hey, like you said, whatever it takes!
