Show us your man cave, shop, garage.

Nothing fancy but it’s mine and all paid for

 

My man cave/radio shack and the place I go for some time out...

 

Stress relief

 

Oh good. A whole room of COVID-19 laced wrestling mats!

 

Only speaking about a fire but insurance paid me for all my tools and shop equipment when our garage burned down.

 

@empty_lord I would double check that with your insurance. It might cost a little extra but you should be able to add your tools onto the policy. Obviously you won't get reimbursed if you lose 1 tool because it's likely less than your deductible but in the event of a major event they should cover the tools.

Or shop around for a better insurance company...

 

+1

I specifically asked, and my tools are covered by my homeowners. They said I just need to have reciepts or pics for an inventory.

 

Also, the same can be said if you have a decent gun collection. Most home owners policies will only pay out around $2,500 for guns total, not individually. I believe many here have big collections. If you want them to be covered you have to pay a little extra and document them all. That's what I did and the total cost wasn't much, maybe $120 a year.

 

I pay extra for the gun stuff (way too much $$ in the form of firepower)

 

boy I am glad I didn't have that rule after the fire. cough, cough, whew.

 

"Mine and all paid for" is a very loose term in America

 

We downed sized a few years ago so I don't have much space. So mancave is a luxury I don't have, I am slowly building my home theater around the misses stuff..... Eventually I will have taken a majority of the space

 

??? How so? Paid for means not still currently financing. Simple

 

1)the home's mortgage may be paid but property tax is forever. You no pay, it's all gone.
2) wifey gets a bug up her butt and attorneys are called. You no pay, it's all gone.
Mine and all paid for is a loose term

 

Hahaha

I see your point

 

Single and half car garage turned workshop/man cave

Panoramic shot to try and get it all.




Back wall...
Storage cabinets, hand tools, etc




Tool wall and cutting station (compound miter, table and band saws)...



AND...
...The FUN wall...

Beer fridge, dual kegerator, 40” flat screen, (far left is a sink), not seen is a 1500w sound bar with sub mounted behind a cabinet

 

Kinda puts shit in perspective... lol

 

That's why we have downsized, well kinda. Our present home has 4 small rentals and we live in a 1200 sqft 1/1. At the moment I am not sure which of my tenants can pay there rent, 1 is working from home and 2 are kinda on furlough. Damn covid-19 is making things really tuff

 

Here's part of my unfinished basement; plenty enough for this 50 year old. 600lbs of free weights and a pair of Powerblocks that go to 90lbs each. I have an elliptical and a treadmill also though they do not get used much...

 

Reason I only allow one handed model shoots is because the government takes 50% in taxes. Saves me from paying.

 

Woodworking happens here. built by me about 5 years ago. Should have gone bigger

 

"Damn, I wish I hadn't built such a big garage..."
- Nobody, ever

 

Just moved recently, but I was able to take a glory shot of the garage before I filled it with junk.

 

Say what you will, but that NSX is NOT junk...

 

Sweet NSX!

 

What a POS! I'll take that Honda off your hands for.........$25 bucks.

 

you're nuts....I wouldn't pay a penny over $24

 

$26 and I'll pay shipping.
Always loved NSX's.

 

Welp end of this month we are closing on our first house! Four car detached garage with the back half split into a shop. Finally going to have my own shop. Let the fun begin

 

No pics? Maybe one from the real estate listing?
