Excellent work! You're making great progress. I wish I could get my project done as fast as this!

Man that is sweet.
I wish I could do things like that and I wish I had a basement but in Florida, I would need scuba equipment.
Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Dec 30 update:
The slope is getting steeper, almost there.......a cigar in the house[IMG]http://www.***********.com/vb/images/smilies/sifone.gif[/IMG]

The walls have been painted. While the picture does not look like it they are a green/grey called Mocha Accent.....

The floor is in. It is a Bronze Cherry laminate from Armstrong Grand Illusions collection. It is beautiful. Looks like real wood and goes down very easy. It is a floating floor. My brother and I put it down in 2 hours.

Today I put the main door in and the closet door. Also put all the molding and caulked it, as well as put the outlets in. Tomorrow we will put the crown molding in, paint it and fire up the electric. I have a 12 hour timer for the exhaust fan in our to leave it on for an hour of so after we are done smoking. I also have a rheostat on the fan to control the speed. The vent fans are in. I will also have the sconces in.

We are just a bit of electric, some caulk and a bit of furniture installation from a cigar. New years eve is the goal.

So without further ado here are a series of pictures.

























Good Evening!

That looks so nice, needs some smoke floating around. I really like the floor.

Hurry up and finish!!!

btw, those "waterspots" I believe is dust floating around that the camera just happens to pick up due to the flash.

This looks like it will be an awesome getaway from the world! I want!

Those floors look great!! From one Ohioan to another, I cannot wait to see the finished product! I am very envious of the space you will have. If you ever feel like having some folks over....

There is smoke in the house
It works..............yahooo!

Got all the crown up today. Fired up the electricity. Wow, does the exhaust fan work. My son and law and I caulked the crown and finished just about the time the Orange Bowl was starting. Still need to paint the trim and a couple of other things, but we couldnt resist putting the TV up and dragging a couple of chairs in to give the cave the dynamic test.

The results are great exhaust no smoke smell anywhere, the chairs are very comfortable and a Taboo Sumatra was very tasty. As I type I am having a JFR and watching the game. This is nice, very nice. The pics will be in the next post.

And now the pics of the dynamic test of the man cave.



The end of an ugly Rose Bowl. The TV is a 32" Sharp.



Two of the three chairs.



The first cigar!



Not exactly sure what type of look it on my face but I was definitely feeling good.



Not the most flattering of poses.....but it feels good.


My son in law. Nice end table eh?

Tomorrow I paint and hook up surround sound.
