The Man Cave

Fellas,

If you have or could have a man cave, what would it include?

I'm putting together ideas for a man cave with all of the automotive things that I have.

http://pinterest.com/drivingrl/ideas-for-the-man-cave/

And yes, I realize that ladies don't typically have man caves. I don't know what else to call it, because calling it a lady cave sounds pervy. LOL! But ideally I want a big comfy couch, big screen TV, and a bar in there for watching the game.

    i lived in my parents basement when i was in high school and my dad told me to make it into a "bachelor pad".. so i did. it wasn't anything special, just surround sound stereo system with the tv, dvd player, playstation 2 all hooked up.. and the bar my dad built years earlier

    if i had one now it would definately have a bar, surround sound stereo, poker table, dart board, and a pool table(space permitting)

    I don't know that I could afford a pool table, but it would be great. But I would keep the Xbox and Wii in with the surround sound.

    Projectors are great, a friend of mine has one, he's got the PS3/TV/Internet hooked up to it.

    Those chairs look very comfy.

    Instead Iof one projector, I would spring for 2 52 inch tvs so you can put them next to each other.

    mine is in the planning stage.

    Definitely a 60"-ish TV with good surround sound... including my turntable and a vinyl display case/shelves of some sort. Also have a ton of sports and music memoribilia to display.

    A 1/2 bathroom def.

    Massage chair/recliner.

    PS3/360

    I would like a shuffleboard game. They are expensive and long. If not, bubble hockey. Probably a dart board.

    One room is going to be a gym with a mirrored wall, Mounted TV and dvd player. I have adjustable dumbbells which save space.

    I like the term basement over man cave. Man cave sounds like there should be strobe lights and Right Said Fred, whatever their name is, playing. Not that there's anything wrong with that. :lol:

    I don't know how else to refer to it. I am not a man, but it is a place that I want to establish to get away from everything and watch the hockey games on a ridiculously giant TV.

    Women traditionally have craft rooms, but I'm certainly not putting together a craft room! :lol:

    i ripped the inside door panel off the driver's side of my car the other week ago. it was caveman style automobile repair at it finest. the panel in two pieces now resides in the back seat.

    would you appreaciate my car's door panel(s) if i sent them to you? it is for sure caveman certified merchandise

    Mutliple TVs so you can watch multiple sporting events at once (at least 2, maybe 3). Maybe something like a huge screen in the middle 50-60 inches with a smaller one on each side (30-40 inches). A kegerator would be a nice addition as well.

    i knew a dude like this. he had a thing for sports betting. his sport tv room had at least 7 televisions in it. he watched different teams different sports all day/night long and betted like a wildman.

    literally made me ill watching 7 tvs at once. let alone sports television which would get clubbed to death if it were mine :mrgreen:

    I don't know that I could afford a separate table, be it pool or bubble hockey. (In an ideal world, I'd have a vintage video game like PacMan or something.) I was thinking, though, that it might be worthwhile to have two screens - one for the game, and then one for the Xbox/Wii.

    Good call on the poker table, though. I need a table/seating area for the hookah.

    I don't have kids...none will be allowed in the 'chill room' at the next house.
    I hate the term 'man cave' too...i'll just tell him "Go hang out in the garage!" (he already took over my art room :evil: )
