Ok Gents, if you had you way, what would you "man" cave look like?

Mine would look something like this.

I would love a study, and library with a big, beautiful wooden desk. A fire place, and porch would be nice too. I could set on the porch and smoke my pipe.

I used to clean a house for a couple of attorneys that had a library very much like this, only the desk was in the corner so the two wing chairs could be placed in front of the fireplace. They had glass-fronted shelves too ( a blessing for me because it meant I didn't have to dust all those books)

I love that library picture. Can you imagine the view from the window seats in front of those windows upstairs?

My window seats would look out over the lake in the woods - with Maples, Aspens (poplar) and Oaks. Gotta have the right palette for fall colors.

I have a she shed. The barn! It’s nowhere near as nice as the above pictures, it’s dusty, hay strewed on the dirt, sheep poop or horse poop depending on which barn I’m in. But the inhabitants are friendly and welcome me into their place of abode.

Yeah... Remind you husband, just how lucky he is.

You may or may not realize that most of the wood work in that picture is Chestnut. Chestnut was basicly wiped out in the early 1900 by blight from East Asia (China). If you are really really really lucky you might be able to find some old barns, log homes or buildings built with Chestnut and resaw some beams. But It's VERY RARE and EXPENSIVE lumber.
