It's time to share 2012

[memike]

I have Overmans Building co. awaiting my 24X30 order for my man cave :blob:
I am so ready to have this dun and enjoying my own space out of the house.
Nothing fancy or giant, but just my size for my needs.. memike is getting a garage finely :blob::cheers:
They will build it and Busch brothers here in town is going to pour my slab.
24' x 30' wide with an attached shower/sink and toilet
Smoke free and don't ever want to touch another cig in my life and never will, It was tuff at one of our APA pool league night's but not a BUT touched my lips :cheers: Overmans Buildings are all wood 2x4 walls and 2x6 ceiling all metal siding with 2 9x7 door and one walk threw. There co. is just 37 miles away and it a go. 5.400 counting labor :book:
A few trees to be taken out and my concrete man has not came to see me yet, he did my home slab and we will see what the expert says.

I have allot to be thankful for,My wife Treva, Creed and Mikie Jr. are jumping on board to get Dads man cave up and running

Here is a couple bad drawings I did this morning to show everyone where it will go. I know it is out of scale ops: But you will get the idea :coffee2:

I was going to wait and put this in the garage thread, but I just had to tell all my friends here :cheers: I will be doing a thread with pictures in the near future :coffee2:

Thank you 68CUDA/6VERT, I am so happy to be smoke free and at my age it is time to smarten up and take care of myself. I am a none smoker :cheers:
I had to put an air freshener in my daily driver Victoria because just washing the windows still did not get the smoke smell out, a soft brush and cleaner for my original interior is going to have to be dun

Victoria and I are going to enjoy our own space that's for sure :cheers:

 

[Old Tired Rebel]

Hay there Cliff :glasses7: Thank you
Looking forward to seeing Mike Busch show up and get him started on the location for the slab :coffee2: and price to get it in.
Treva may not see me for weeks at a time when this man cave is in the dry I should be in it by the 1srt of March at the latest, and that is counting on some bad weather days :cheers:

That is some way to kick of 2012 alright!

Congrats on kickin the habit, it's damn nasty.. i know.

And building your man cave is awesome. I'm looking forward to putting some sticks on my pad that was poured in 2010. I'm sure watching your's go up will be even more inspiration.

Ain't that's the truth fore sure Burnt :glasses7: I need a tinker area so I can tinker and be enjoy having a slab under me to walk on and not have to be in the 90 to 105 degree weather we have here, and the gravel work and walking on it, But the winter is pretty short here :coffee2:
Good to hear that old word again, If Treva ask what I am going to do I will be out tinkering around in the shop That has a good ring to it Can't wait to use it

I agree, I think I will need that on pool night, I will check and see if I can pay for it. :coffee2: Trucks and B body cars can get tight front and rear with only 24'.
