The
an Cave
Every man needs one
may gather his buddies and be hammering and sawing away. It does not matter if the stuff they make are of good quality, polished, functional or if all of them even get finished because it is HIS space and HIS time. An interactive man cave that most men would treasure may have a pool table, pinball machine and for the man with a sweet tooth or penchant for junk food, a gumball or a vending machine with requisite Snickers or Doritos. That will really impress his friends. If he is into collecting odd pictures and posters, this is the perfect place for him to hang them along with those old ones of Michael Jordan, Clive Lloyd and Mohammed Ali that are beaten up, which you refused to have over your bed! Throw in a small fridge and he will be in heaven. Having a man cave can also make a couple or the family more productive as with the man of the house in his own space, there are fewer distractions for the other members of the family. A prime example is if he was in the middle of the living room watching football and having beer, the
television would be distracting. If you were studying or if you needed to tidy up, he would definitely be in your way and that is a recipe for an unnecessary argument. For a man to feel like a king of his own little man-castle he can include the following items for it to be furnished just right. A television is a given - the bigger the better. Now you can also source a recliner because comfort is key. Good audio equipment would be nice, a dart board is a cheap must have and find a small table for playing dominos because nothing is as much fun as giving your neighbour or best friend ‘six love’. The final must have to complete every man cave is pretty simple but some may take it for granted without realising its importance. That is the need for a door! A door is paramount to his privacy and your peace of mind. Do not hang a curtain, do not get a screen. No. It has to be a door because every man should have a sturdy ‘boulder’ to keep out unwanted ‘guests’. Invest in a strong one, preferably one that is sound proof.
