Christmas Man Cave Project

Wow! Great job Gary.

I say we have a "Herf Surf and Turff" at Gary's this summer. We can all check out the new smoke room and then he can take us for a ride on his boat.


Congrats on the room and your bride bro!

Looking great. Where is Grove City? I was born and raised in a small town just south of Canton but have not heard of Grove City.

Good luck...

Is that really a problem? I mean after all, she did let him make it! Looks great, keep up the pics, I need ideas for my house!

Just an update tonight, no pics. All the electric wiring is done, speaker wiring is done, built a sofit to cover couple of pipes. Hung the exhaust fan. Going to the HVAC store tomorrow for 12" piping to finish.

tomorrow we start the drywall....pics then.
Had hoped to get it smokable by Christmas day but looks like we will be in the garage at least one more time. Most likely Christmas day afternoon we will be mudding.

Merry Christmas to all

Merry Christmas, this is the Christmas Eve update. Sadly it is for sure that we will be in the garage for a smoke tomorrow afternoon.
Today we started and finished the drywall. While not being able to smoke in the room I was able to munch on one of my YardGars, a CFO Blend #7.
Here are a few of the pics. Sorry about the quality of some of them. They appear to have spots on them, which is actually drywall dust spots. Tomorrow in the afternoon we are hoping to do the first mudding.



My brother Dan on the left, hes the smart one at doing this and my son in law Tim on the right. We are starting on the ceiling.



Another view with and energy drink sitting in the window sill



More pics of the ceiling. My son, with the goofy look on his face has arrived from Indiana to help.


Exhaust fan parts waiting to be assembled.


Exhaust fan, temporarily hung for measurement purposes.




Additional pictures with what appear to be water spot that I mentioned.






Outside the now drywalled inside wall of the TV wall


Inside view of the same wall with TV box in middle and the round boxes are for the sconce lighting.


View in through the door.


View standing just inside the door.




View looking from back wall to door.

Well that is all for tonight. Hopefully we will get to mudding tomorrow.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Looking really, really good my friend. Can't wait to see the finished product! Keep up the good work and keep the pic's coming!

My pops is buildin a man room complete with a vault. It's about 22 by 24 feet, and the vault is 8 by 8. The garage was suppose to be the escape point for us but he decided to build another building behind the garage with a bathroom and little kitchen. I think i may move in when I go back to visit. But I still haven't talked to him about the smoking possibilities.

Nice lookin'. Keep us updated.
The only problem I've run into w/my room is the sound. There is nothing in the room to absourb the sound from the tv which gives the room somewhat of an echo effect. I wasnt going to originally put a carpet down but now I'm rethinking it.
Good Luck,
Tim

I have been worrying about that. Not sure what I will do. Thinking about an area rug for one, but need something for the walls.

The area rug might cut it for such a small room. I'm shopping for one this weekend. If I find one and it works in my room I'll let ya know.

I would like to see more pics of the fan and how you are venting it out. What is the db level? Have you had it on yet?
Great job man.

[garyatmaui]

Just started the exhaust work today. Few pictures tonight. More after tomorrows work. The specs on the Fantech are less than 1 sone, which is close to nothing. Have now had it powered up yet. Hopefully tomorrow afternoon.
