ot..Mancave almost done

Well its been a long three months but the new man cave is looking like it will be done by may. 64' x 40' polebarn with 5" floor. I have the machine shop 16'x30 framed insulated and sheeted, the welding area is done. Started on the 28'x40' workshop area and will save the storage area for next fall. I gotta get it done so I can get back working on the 56. I will post pics of the cave when I get a chance. Hope to be posting the progress on the truck soon.

Not even a quick hand drawn sketch!?!? Sure sounds like it's a great place to hang out and get some grease on your hands. Don't forget to leave space for the big screen TV and the bunk room.

I have mine in a space that is 20 x 12 with a small adjacent "closet" where my tools share the space with an Oak tree. This space is actually part of my woodshop where I make my living building cabinets and furniture. Ouch, Sam adding his "second 30 x 40"? That would be nice. I am afraid I am going to have to join the hate club...
