My NEW man cave
After two long cold years in the wilderness I have finally managed to obtain a new man cave for myself.
I picked up the keys to the house that just happened to come attached to the man cave last friday, the weekend was spend introducing my tools to their new environment.
All that remains now is for me to dress it up and make it comfortable, first up will be the beer fridge and radio.
Pics to follow as I make more progress.
What an AUSSIE day present for me

Hi Kev.
Pity you got lumbered with a "house" on your shed block, but I suppose the "boss", has to have a place for, "arts and crafts".
Looking forward to a couple of pics.

It has taken awhile but finally I have the pics of my new man cave.
The dimensions of the cave are: 18 m long, front section is 4.5 m wide, rear section is 5.5 m wide.
I am intending to alter the lower beam of the roof truss in the front section to give me a bit more head room. Then the plan is to insulate and line the walls and ceiling with plaster.
I am also going to re-wire the whole shed and fit out the dust extraction and compressed air line.
The interior pics of the cave show all of my "toys" getting familiar with their new surroundings. It looks a mess at the moment as I am in the middle of repairing and repainting the interior of the house.

Well it has taken me a while, but the cave is 98% complete. There is still a bit of painting and plastering to be done but I am happy that I now have a great work space for myself.
The only problem I have is that the little woman keeps showing it off to her friends and upsetting the Qi of the place!I try and do new things twice.. the first time to see if I can do it.. the second time to see if I like it

Kev, don't worry about the last 2%. I am still yet to finish the internal fitout of my shed, that I had built 3 years ago
