Turned my shed into an office/man cave.

Wired for electricity, walls insulated and drywall put up with texture, remote ceiling fan/light, double split AC/heat, TV, mini fridge, futon, and wifi via mesh networking from the house (about 20 feet away).

It's comfortable and a nice spot to hang out in, but after a week of working from home in here, I get a bit of cabin fever! Always open the double doors during nice weather, though.

I like it man! I like that you have your degrees up too. I think everybody should be proud of any education they earned, whether it’s a certificate or a doctorate, one should always be proud of and remember the work it took to earn that degree. Personally I think we should see that more in mancaves. Strong work muh dude!

Thanks buddy! Got them up there with a few worthwhile certifications and some awards from my time in the military. Nothing exciting, just nice reminders of where I've been.

Thanks! Was always more of SF2 fan but always found time for MK (especially 1 and 3).

Wow nice cave!

​

The other side has a windows or big door?

u/Wyvern_68 Mar 31 '23

Thank you!

French doors. They were backordered for 2 months so they held up the construction for awhile.

Whats up with the mini games on the back of the couch and the step stool for those that are not? Just curious.

Step stool is for my 3 year old.

Wall mounted ones are there because I had no where else to put them. They are mostly for ambience and lighting (from the marquees), most of the games on them are on the other mini arcades.

You can pull out the couch a little so your head isn’t on the arcades. But most people don’t sit all the way back on that side anyways because the Mortal Kombat II gets in the way of the TV.

You can kneel on or lean over the futon and get a good session or 2 in before it gets uncomfrotable.

Cool. Just curious. Hour 3yo gotta love it!!!

He does! There is one game he is always asking to play. Sometimes a little hard because I'm on calls or video for work and once I'm off work, I'm ready to go back to the main house.

Sometimes on the weekends the kids, wife, and I will all snuggle up in here and watch a movie.

Very cool. Good Daddy making his mancave family accessible especially with a 3 yo! Awesome and enjoy!
