Man Cave

[GophersInIowa]

So one of my next projects is to turn our basement into my man cave. The finished part is not very big so I won't be able to go too crazy with it. Anyone have photos of their man cave they're willing to share? Anyone paint their walls maroon and gold?

Not really a man cave but I toyed with the idea of building a theater room addition to the house. Had structural plans drawn up and everything, but in the end I ditched the idea. I ended up upgrading the tv in the tv room from 70" to 85" (already had surround sound speakers all over) and I'm looking at a few rows of theater seating but haven't gotten that far yet.

This is a great site for things like that:

Home Theater Seating, Sofas and Loveseats

We have an old house with an unfinished basement. Decided to finally turn it into my tiki room. Besides the tons of items we have collected over the years, I only spent about $200 to do it.

Man! That is an impressive tiki room. I’ll wager you make a mean Luau Fizz and Hilo Diver.

I'm tinkering with a Gopher cocktail. It is not elite yet.

Once you have that bad boy perfected, I would literally pay an admission fee to visit your room.

A real man would knock some sense into her. U don’t have a man cave because u don’t deserve one.

I used to have a man cave. Now it looks like if Nerf went to war with Lego.

I would hope he would let you in free considering the dire tax situation you have going....

If the Gophers ever make it to Final Four, I'll invite all of you to come over and celebrate.

It depends on the amount really.

It seems everyone who used to say "I'll do X when the Gophers make the Rose Bowl" have switched tactics. Noted.

I have a home theater with gold and maroon walls and about a 108" projection screen.
Don't use it as often as you would think.

One word for a successful man cave:

Urinal.

It shows you are all in.

Only if it's a replica of the urinal at Stasiu's.

I am thinking about replicating the smell from the Knight Cap's (NE Mpls) bathroom for my house.

I always admired the diamond plate sheet metal look of Grumpy’s.

Anytime the door opens, everyone can admire what you are doing in that bathroom.

When I first saw those, I envisioned a post-apocalyptic landscape that had been flattened by an H-bomb and that's the only thing left standing.

A Metrodome trough would be even better.

True story: my dad worked on US Bank Stadium and was able to get 4 Metrodome seats. He still has them in storage but once I get my basement figured out, they're going in there.

I used to work with this local nonprofit, and we got four Metrodome seats donated. We were like, "Sweet, we can auction these off at our fundraiser." Literally not a single taker. They're super heavy and awkward to mount with the rear facing braces. You can't just sit in them without building some sort of heavy duty frame. They would be cool in a man cave though. Post a picture when you get them mounted.
