Members cbh5150 Posted November 9, 2011 Members Share Posted November 9, 2011 Just too cool. Love what you've done so far. I really have to get back to work on mine, which will be much more plain, but functional and cozy enough for me to hide out for significant periods of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lonnie99 Posted November 9, 2011 Members Share Posted November 9, 2011 That bookshelf is also my favorite part. I've got some nice bookshelves in my office space but would love a built in. Never done anything like that though, probably over my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members grumphh Posted November 9, 2011 Members Share Posted November 9, 2011 Or maybe he didn't want to take a pic where you can see the inside of his toilet? Come on - it is a toilet. In a man cave. The seat is supposed to be up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ARAMP1 Posted November 9, 2011 Members Share Posted November 9, 2011 Looks pretty sweet. I'm about to setup my music room and was debating hanging the guitars on the wall. You've made it look pretty badass with staggering them high and low and then having the art there. Not a big fan of the pool table in the middle of the room, but if that's your thing, then that's awesome. Anyway, props to you for the hard work. as long as that toilet seat is down when not in use you are officially pussywhipped. Whatever. I always kept the lid down so my dog wouldn't drink out of the toilet. And, it wasn't because I was concerned about the level of chlorine in the water from the bowl cleaner. It was because I didn't want to step in a puddle of toilet drool water in the morning when I was half asleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to change your mind about the seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair reason, and since it appears that your dog was not small enough to drown in the toilet whilst drinking from it, we can assume it was a man's dog, right?

Members grumphh Posted November 9, 2011 Members Share Posted November 9, 2011 Apparently you didn't watch this. You might want to change your mind about the seat Ermmm, are you scared that the bacteria from the bowl will jump at you at every possible opportunity they get? Or are you talking about sitting down to piss? What are you trying to say with that link? Come on, it is simple - you and your buddies have a few beers/sodas/hard liquor/whatever (no decaf lattes, though) in your man cave and need to take a piss. This pisstaking is much facilitated by not having to think about the goddamn toilet seat. In a man cave at least you should be able to not have to be concerned about that?

Members Nathaniel. Posted November 9, 2011 Members Share Posted November 9, 2011 Looks really good! The guitar wall looks awesome. I don't if it's the best spot for the pool table though, looks like a perfect jam area. There's probably know where else to put the poll table though. Looks awesome, none the less.

Members maltomario Posted November 27, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 27, 2011 its been a few weeks, thought i'd share a few updates since then.. mudding the drywall: sanding time! more to follow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BarneyGumbel Posted November 27, 2011 Members Share Posted November 27, 2011 Looking good! I'm scheduled to graduate college next May (if all goes well, it's going to be a hell of a semester). I know it won't happen for a long while after that, but one of the things I'm really looking forward to is getting a house and building my own man cave. If you don't get married, your entire house can be a man cave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members maltomario Posted November 27, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 27, 2011 Start laying out pattern of my stone veneer buttering the back (no, not what you were thinking, perv!) first course almost done with first face done with front wall. the drywall spacers on the bottom were used to give me 1/2" gap so I could have tile tucked in there when I do the tile floor. would be a PITA to try to trim to contours of stone otherwise. starting work on other wall view from guitar room small corner side wall done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members maltomario Posted November 27, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 27, 2011 rear corner - this was a BITCH to do.. lots of cuts. and the $2 cutting wheels only last for 3 cuts.. lots of dust too. did the cuts outside the edge of stone floats over drywall.. kinda like the effect prime coat for walls ran out of paint.. didn't quite finish priming yet..

Members BG76 Posted November 27, 2011 Members Share Posted November 27, 2011 looks cool, good job! If you bring your seams out farther you can eliminate a lot of sanding - doesn't matter at this point - looks good:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
