As with all things Ridaz, progress has been slow but the Man Cave is coming along well now and close to complete.

I spoil the Mrs me, bought her a new kitchen so had no choice but to re purpose the old units which make for excellent storage.

My son had signed up to buy his first house so whilst we waiting for a few teething problems to be resolved in the man cave he decided to leave all of his white goods in for storage. He has since moved them all to his new home.

The first bike to enter the mancave belongs to Tigerman as seen below. We have been let down by a number of electricians so far so working by gas light but more promising news is that this may all be resolved very soon. Light and heat would have helped a lot during winter!

Now I just need a project of my own

Very nice Ridaz, a worthy man cave! Good idea to recycle the kitchen units too.

Very impressive mate, the Ducati doorstop looks very substantial.

My man cave finally has mains power after 5 years of getting round to it. As its a detached garage it was quite a job. There's now a hefty 18mm armoured cable running to it. I think the electrician said it was capable of carrying 50 amps ready for when fossil burners are history.

You are all lucky, my man cave is the street as that is where the bike is.

Ridaz, if you'd remembered to fit a sink under that window she could've used that as the kitchen and you'd be able to get the bikes in the house.

No way there was a sink going in there.... I go in there to get away from washing the dishes!

Don't forget the central heating...and a telly.

@immingham very nice

I've had a bit of a tidy up, just to kill the boredom.

Not the most tidy or clean, but must be the oldest.
Our house is from 1810, my man cave down the bottom of the garden predates the house as the original dwelling.

Not as grand as some, but it allowed me to return my round the world Suzuki to normal trim. Now I just have to sell off the old pannier frames, engine bars and sump guard.

Ratcatcher, last photo had me fooled. Looks like toilet roll on the wall!

Mine is a metal shed and timber bike port. I currently share it with our sons scooter and TL1000.
