Cabinets installed, copper air lines are in. Air to the lift, hose reel on ceiling, air outlets by both man doors.

Free NAPA stuff. My new to me Chevy truck, road trip back with my brother to haul 3 MG's back to Ohio from NM, various projects inside, some meager snow, and the start of the countertop. Yes, I suck at welding. My first try after a whole 5 minutes of practicing.

Some things are starting to get put on the wall.......































My first license plate at the top here, plus others of mine and the last plates that were on my parent's vehicles and some others of personal interest to me.

I had the countertop made at a local fab shop to my measurements. Stainless steel and fit perfectly. Sink used to be in our kitchen. Tankless hot water heater and drinking water filter. In and operational! Exciting day for me!

These bring things up to date. Most of the stuff hung on the wall has some personal meaning to me. Pic of my Dad's B-29 from his USAF days, my useless retirement plaque, various signs from people no longer with us, flag my son gave me flew on combat missions in Afghanistan, most interesting man in the world my daughter brought home from college, ski's from my lost brother, etc. You get the idea.

Really glad I finally got around to building this, it keeps me occupied every day!

I built a 30 x 40 a few years ago. I should have built a 60 x 80. I do love my man cave. It has 7.5 inch walls filled with insulation I have a 5 ton air unit. My bill was $91 this month. It's well insulated.

Thanks fellas! Still enjoying my time out there, so so so glad we built it!

A few picture updates.

My daughter brought this guy back from college, he's a bit worn around the edges from dorm life!




Picked this up from eBay, genuine race used nose from NASCAR.
