Hey guys, New member here and I wanted to showcase some pictures of our recent backyard demolition and mancave construction. Please let me know what you think. I'd also love ideas on how to proceed from here. All comments welcome. Thanks and enjoy:

Did you build the counter top yourself or sub it out?

Did you build the counter top yourself or sub it out?

I subbed it out. And after seeing all the framing that it took, I'm glad I did!! ;)

That is amazing! I want 1

Great fucking space!

[Choop]

We've enjoyed our space for almost a year now, the dog passed so I laid in some new sod and the plants are all grown up. I put in a beer pong table in the garage and I'm thinking of adding a portable smoker and a kegerator. Might use the fridge in the garage and run the hose through the wall so all you see is the tap.

After seeing the space do you guys have any product recommendations for the above possible additions or other recommendations to continue adding to my cave?

[Quads]

Lots of diff. options on the fridge / tap and the smoker.
How much are you looking to spend? On the cheap / DIY or you a lotto winner?

[Wedge Rock]

I got a dog I can ship you. Just pay the postage.

[Choop]

For price points I'd say on the cheap or DIY. But while doing it cheap, I'd like to do it right too.

Also gonna have to pass on the dog shipment, lol.

[Wedge Rock]

Fine. I'll cover postage.

This is why i hate winter... just kidding i love winter but i am jealous of warm weather almost year round..

Very Nice, looks like it was a project in a half, but overall looks like it turned out fantastic...I would love to have that in my own home...Nice for entertaining...

[Choop]

Thanks guys. I love hanging out back there watching tv, grillin, and cracking a beer. I'm lookin' for ideas to Finnish this space off now. I want to give it that wow factor without breaking the bank. Any ideas??

[Original]

Stripper pole would be a good wow factor lol

[Choop]

Stripper pole is not in the cards. While it IS my cave, it's also used for entertaining family and friends.... lol. Besides I think the pole would probably subtract property value from our investment back there. :-)

I was thinking something like "Pirates of the Caribbean style" electronic fireflies that light up at night, maybe a portable DIY fire feature, and.... well that's all I've got, and where you all come in.
