[OT] My New ManCave / Studio!

So I talked to my parents and we haven't used our garage in a long time - they park all the cars outside now and so they agreed! So today I spent the most day cleaning out the garage like mad. It's 80% done. Tomorrow i'm going to grab one or two more surge protectors from the store and get done hooking up the air hockey table as well.

So essentially now I have my studio area, an area for my friends to come by and just kick it with a microwave there for microwave food, 4locos, and snacks as well as the air hockey for fun :).

Don't worry, the house is spotless (or mom would kill me along with my bro and dad). Parents just dont give a shit about the cars so since we moved in to this place - they just left the boxes in the garage and everytime they go costco shopping, I just throw all the shit all over the air hockey table and we have old sofas just sitting in the garage which were never used.

Let me know what you guys think!

Nice. I'm super jealous of those KRK's

Do we HAVE a chat room? IRC?

IRC would be better tbh, the facebook chat is really annoying

Noooooooooo :eek:

very nice I love the progression shots. I can't wait till me and my wife find a house we like. I told her she can have anyone she wants within our budget as long as it has a room for me that's not the attic.

That.

Also check out if you could have a yard sale to get rid of some of the stuff plus making $ for new stuff. Play with the available stuff to make a layout and divide what is the laundry from mancave like maybe fitting the bookshelfs around it to make a "separate room". If you have some power tools try to DIY tables and other stuff to save of $ and custom made things to play with the available space. Get a friend who graffitti or any other art to make you some wall art or you can paint everything as you like. I love DIY and always go that route with wonderful results.

So much potential!

Trust me, the last persons house they would want to break into is mine. Near my house there are two garages with lamborghinis parked in it, one with a mazerati parked in it, one of the one with the lambos also has a Porsche GT2, 2 BMW M5s, 4 Saabs, and a Range Rover.

Mine is probably one of the last they would steal from :P.

As for the washer / dryer they are not in use at all. Hence they are my new table :).

All suggestions (aside from altering the place itself with drywall and what not) would be appreciated ;). I will be moving out (well now maybe not since I have my man cave as well as my room) next semester. And my parents have another place that they will be moving to as well once my younger brother graduates high school next year. So this place will be sold.

YES! I was just saying that to my best friend who helped me clean up! Its like $50 though if I want the control too. So gotta wait for a bit. What page is your setup on, on the "Show Your Setup" thread? Ohh and how long did it take for you to receive it? And do you know if one remote works on all of them? I'm thinking of buying like 2 - 3 of them.
