    Ridiculous.

    Any OCers have their own man cave? I'm working on putting mine together at the moment. I have two rooms on our third floor that I am turning into my space since we don't have a finished (or finishable) basement. Post pics if you've got 'em.

    I can't stop looking at pictures of basements on that site. It makes me sad to know that unless i win the lottery I'll never have a home like that ha.

    Try getting a degree at Ohio State. It's like winning the lottery, but you can sleep at night knowing you earned it.

    I wouldn't care if i earned the money or not and I would have no problem telling people it was from the lottery ha.

    Work hard for 100k a year or luck into millions...i'll take the latter every time.

    Anyways - the mancaves and basements on that site are fucking amazing.

    My basement has a sectional, mounted tv, and a beer fridge with a mini keg tap. Nothing like those but it does the trick.

    The guy that owns that place never lifted a single tool to get it looking like that - not a real man's cave.

    No way. Tiernan built a nicer garage by hand. He also built his own Ferrari.

    How does that qualify as a man cave without a big screen, couches and a beer tap?

    I kind of agree with Tiernan. That's not so much a man cave as a "look how much cash I wasted" cave.

    I assume the ferrari makes up for that. It's more an ultimate garage than man cave.

    Indeed. That's why I added the "/Garage." They called it a man cave but it is more of just a garage. Would be pretty easy to convert to a man cave. The loft space already has a bar. Just throw a tv on the wall and a nice leather sectional and you're good to go. Add some sport memorabilia to the wall for good measure.

    Sweet couch for a video game nerds man cave.

    Looks like it wouldn't be too difficult to build yourself if you had decent woodworking skills. A few sheets of plywood, some high density foam, leather, and a lot of time.

    A true man cave should have some sweat equity in it.

    My man cave:

    Finished half basement, 92" projector screen + 5.1 surround + Epson 1080P projector....PS3/Xbox 360....3 chairs and a couch, PC in the corner.

    The lack of Beer Cellars for a man cave make that site a joke. Need a beer cave.

    I have a closet. Its big, I have tools in it, and my beers. I'm looking into getting a chair that fits in there and an outlet for TV.

    No man cave should EVER house an electric car (unless it's an electric golf cart for hauling beer and tools).
  • Ironman92

    No sports memorabilia on the walls, No mounted deer heads on the walls, That is not a man cave.
