Ive turned my garage into a "man cave" as people like to call it, and im still working on it. . It seems to be getting more and more popular in the area. Some people have their man caves in the basement or room in the house. I have aviation, football, beer stuff all over the walls. The neighbors come over to watch the games and fights as well as throw darts. I will post some pics when I get home...

Let's see your man room or man cave! :drink3:

Sorry about the double post up top. Seems you can delete your posts anymore if you screw up.


Ok well here is what the garage looks like. I also build my models out here as well. I know some of the guys have a aviation room or game room on here. A few years back there was a thread.

I can't call this a man cave exactly, because Ellen actually likes to come here to help with the maintenance program. I guess it's a "couples' cave" in our case. It also doesn't really qualify because it is currently too orderly, but that will change next month during the Annual.

See, she's even unloading the airplane while I take pictures! 8)
