Default New Man Cave

Well I have wanted to build since last year and I am now in motion!!

A couple of weeks ago my son and I dug a 100' x 4' deep hole in the yard by hand!! This runs the water and power under ground to the shed.
4' is necessary to keep the water from freezing here in the NE.

we then built the floor with some help of friends, wow was that a bit ch getting level and square!!!

Then the last 2 days to get all framed, now if I just can figure out the roof?? I want to make it a Gambrel so I have a 2nd floor when I am done this thing will be same sq feet as my house!! CB says its to big, I say the bigger the better!

Here are some pic's









Son, uncles girl friend and uncle on ladder

















Has a 36" door on the right, and a 6' door on the front with two windows I am going to add another window on the 36" door side then a few on 2nd floor.

MJ it looks really nice but there are two things I would like to point out,

1) a straight trench uses less pipe and cable.

2) How come we only see others doing the work?

Good luck on your project.
