    Cool 70's mancave, phase 1...

    Phase 1: Paint 'n Panel. Before and after pics:











    NOTE: the first "after" pic, under the TV is the George Grand 8-track player--you rock George! That rack is gonna be totally re-done.

    Next is the floor epoxy, followed by the dry bar (against the back wall), then more, etc....stay tuned

    Yep--they will have to be an integral part of the mancave. We were gonna do a 3-car garage, but the lot was too narrow, so we did a 2 1/2. Behind the curtain is the workbench/shelves/crap like that. Behind the small curtain is the furnace/hot water heater tank.

    The utility sink will go back in after the floor epoxy cures, but will have a wood facade built around it.

    Don't suppose you need a SQ quad processor? I've got one that's collecting dust in my garage.

    Plus one on the bikes. You can get "blitzed", and rock out to born to be wild while cruising in the man cave:)
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben

    The 2 long walls will be filled with vintage 70's posters; music, movies, ect. There will also be some small shelves for collectibles here & there. Once I get the dry bar cabinetry in place, I'll have a better idea of how it will all come together.
