Find Your Man Cave With Measuring Tape

By:


My friend Kyle found a place for his man cave after his measuring tape revealed there was enough room in the laundry room for a 42" flat screen TV and his favorite chair. He and his wife had different tastes in their television habits anyway. She agreed to stay out during the evenings, and so far it's working out for Kyle.

Another buddy grabbed the baby's room when she needed more space. His cave contains his model planes and his computer, where he chats online with other aviation enthusiasts. It is a boring topic for the rest of the family, so no one is complaining.

A guest bathroom became the getaway of choice for Roger. It cost him a few bucks but he created a bathroom between his kids' bedrooms out of a closet. He moved the plumbing from the hallway bath into it, and made a cool spot just for his nature photography collection. The measuring tape was his friend; he saved hundreds of dollars by careful planning.

Roger told me about another guy who thought he had the answer using the space under the stairway. It is even lined with soundproofing, but can't stop the jarring of kids and dogs pounding up and down the steps. Roger knew the extra work he did moving bathrooms was well worth the end result for his man cave.

Then there's Chris. He lives in a mobile home; there is no extra space to be had. No stairs. No extra rooms, not even a closet. Not to be denied, Chris carefully measured the tiny lot his home occupies and staked out his own space behind the vegetable garden. He has told his wife he is saving up for a tool shed. A tool shed with enough space for a desk and chair, where he can sit and work on his unfinished novel.

There is a place for your man cave too, if you want one badly enough. Just plan, and don't forget your measuring tape.
