The Man Cave






We spent last weekend clearing out the basement so we could start the renovation. We built a shed to store the lawn mowers and tools. I have never seen a man so excited to have an outbuilding to call his own where he can hammer nails, saw things in half and just hang out with beer in hand. Jeff plans to decorate with liquor mirrors that he acquired while managing the liquor store (in 1980). It will be painted white.
Jeff keeps joking that he will go there when he's in the "dog house". I told him to hang out there as much as he wants. He has a mini frig, a fan and a new radio. All he needs now is a comfy lawn chair and he will have a hang out to rival Bob Pulley's.

The following pictures are of Jeff trying to get down from the loft in the shed. Lindsay ended up in the yard rolling around, laughing hysterically and I just about wet my pants.
The poor guy was just hanging there helpless. I finally got my composure and helped him find his footing.







This picture was taken by Lindsay after our long day of heavy lifting and moving. I can't believe we didn't get any pictures of Lindsday. She was such a huge help. We wouldn't have gotten half done what we did without her.

I know a man who would be so jealous of the man cave. But what I want to know is how does Jeff feel about your having fun at his expense over the interwebs? Or is this just our little secret? *hand over mouth*

Jeff read the post and laughed. Good thing, huh? I have about 5 followers and never thought about lurkers.

We lurkers are very sneaky. *wink*
