Show us your man cave (shed / garage / workshop / w.e.)
#31
As the garage was unusable due to being full of rubbish, I've taken over and claimed the front half of it now. Wish I had somewhere big enough to work on the car though, sloping gravel driveway sucks! Note the precariously balanced boxes everywhere haha.

I keep tools locked elsewhere though. Wink

I bought this man cave a couple of years back and paying it off over 25 years, it also happened to come with a nice house which is handy for when you need to sleep.

That's a pretty awesome man cave, desk and all! Need to tidy mine up, it's got a tad out of hand again. Can't promise i'll take a picture though lol.

Then painted it, boarded the ceiling and insulated best I could.

And now, it's in a mess and I can't move in there because of parts for the estate.

I do but only because i get them from work on rip outs. If anyone wants one (A proper one, not one of these cheap shitty car ones that does f*ck all except explode in a fire) then give me a shout and next time i get some ill hand them out.

Edit: 15,000th post. Shit i need a life!

Dude how much for a decent sized foam or CO2 one, PM me a price for next time you get them in.

You can have it mate. Im just not sure when i will get it. Will be CO2 as Foam ones are just a pain in the arse and CO2 is more suitable for the sort of things we do in our garages.

Cheers dude, I like foam as the few times I've had to use them I have found foam more effective than CO2 in putting out fires (namely some sort of large lake of petrol or similar) but CO2 is definitely less mess and less space.

Mate, I burn everything lmao

The landlord of my estate doesn't pay for bins so everyone's rubbish gets chucked in a huge pile and burned haha.

306 seats and bumpers burn pretty well :-P

Mine is still full of boxes from moving in 3 years ago, 3/4 mountain bikes and my road bike on the turbo trainer, but I'm slowly working through it so that I can house a Mini.
