Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've had my man cave for 9 years now, it was originally installed on 27th July 2015. But it was mid September before I'd finished insulating and boarding it out, not to mention getting the electricity fitted and moving in.
So a little late in celebrating it's installation but it's all good. I've been busy recently, had some time off and finally been able to get to Otty's on a good day to help with his new hobby shed. I've got a fair few pictures of it being built that I'll share down the line. Sadly [or conveniently?] I wasn't able to be there when a lot of the heavy lifting was needed but I did get to paint one end of the shed, which looks pretty cool.
And then helped Otty, Phil and Liam with insulating and boarding the inside. 40% of the walls were done in 5 hours and we got some insulation in the ceiling too. I'm down for another day on Tuesday, maybe we can get all the walls done by then?
We've had so much fun in his original shed and my own is now 9, it will definitely need a repaint next year for its 10th birthday. Sheds are ace! All hail the man cave.
It is so great to have a space to be able to enjoy this hobby. I have been busy re-arranging my area; my son is getting so involved he needs his own shelving to display models :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd when you get that space 'right', it makes a huge difference to your motivation, progress and enjoyment. And, let's not forget the impact on the home life dynamic. Having my hobby stuff out of the house has potentially saved my marriage!
DeleteI have a basement space and not a shed, but it is still great to have a a dedicated space. Congrats on the anniv.!
ReplyDeleteYour basement looks cool though and you probably don't have to walk down an often flooded garden to get to it... Otty is planning on getting the gym foam mats for his shed. I occasionally get cramp in my feet when stood up in the current one, so I stand on a piece of old carpet for relief. I'm looking forward to the entire shed being cushioned underfoot. There is rumour there will be a couch too! I really need to do a post on it. We had a great session building it yesterday - all walls are boarded and everywhere is now insulated.
