Hey /diy/
I'm planning an addition onto a house that I just bought. Part of the addition will be a work space/ home office/ refuge from the wife and baby/ etc. Naturally, I want it to kick ass. Please give me awesome ideas for this project.
Anything and everything welcome!

Don't call it a proper man cave if you know half of it is shit. Or you could admit that you don't want to use tools for anything and that your idea of an ideal room is pristine light sabers and drills stored next to each other in an attractive display case.

>>601962
The US president is mostly just a face, of course, but any actual work he might happen to do is done in certain other specially designated rooms of the White House. And I'm sure they're not really that messy. If not because the president doesn't really do enough work to make one, then because it's constantly cleaned by a super-top-tier exorbitantly well-payed custodial staff.

Anonymous Sun Feb 23 18:01:07 2014 No.602100

easy steps for a proper "man cave"
1. paint the ceiling the same as the walls, fuck white
2. LED strips around the edges of the room
3. underfloor heating, NOT ELECTRIC, this fucks wireless signals as well as your phones
4. design big things first, ie flat screen tv, build the fucking wires into the wall, this goes for Ethernet too

the rest dip shit, is up to you.
