Man cave is done 

Very nearly... So close...

Water, gas and electric should be connected today. Then have to plaster ceilings, paint walls, lay the floor and start the 'make right' work on the garden. Then I can start making the table array etc...

Here's the view from my kitchen window.

Can't wait to see it. 

I presume it will be decked out in traditonal Victorian furniture and decorations, Deep red walls, an occasional table lace covering, photo of Queen Victoria(Gaud Bless Er), decanter of Port and a globe showing the extent of the British Empire

If I could double the space I would have done but the 12' gaming table is a bit of a space hog

There will be a map of the empire in canvas up on the wall though and I'm working on getting an old cabinet for my VSF stuff.

At the very least then a photograph of Her Majesty

Nonsense, a statue dear boy!

cool man cave

Thank you
It'll be better when I can move all my crap hobby stuff in. The door on the right is for storage of bikes/tools etc, but I'm also putting a bench in there so I can do casting/cutting etc away from the 'clean' room.

Arse. Yet another problem with my house (not the man cave) uncovered by this build. Drains again but at least this time they are my drains. Problem is this on top of the other bits essentially clears out the coffers  Not sure where the money for the flooring is coming from now, let alone the materials/cupboards to build the 12' board...

Right, time to cancel the Kickstarter I've pledged to and start the ebay list early, get ready for my pointless 'I'm selling stuff' thread

The joys of home ownership

Drains are a right pain - we had a hole in our drive for over a year whilst we waited to see who would pay

Which are what?

Indeed. This is just old clay pipes that have given up and need replacing but it's made the concrete area that runs alongside the house (theoretically part of the drive but no way my car would fit)'loose', so it all needs replacing.

The previous one however was a discovery that under my man cave we have a secondary sewer pipe running at an odd angle. The reason it's at an odd angle is that it has nothing to do with any of the houses near me. It apparently links two side roads but does so by looping under everyone else's gardens..... The only reason for this shape that anyone can see is that their must have been a change to the road layout when the houses were built back in the 30's. That was an expensive discovery! Fee's to the water board and an insurance waver thing plus ordering a specialist pipe and digging out an extra section of the garden, reinforcing it, filling it in, etc, etc....

That's weird i was just re-reading this thread because i got a hold of some kroot . And surprise surprise there are new entries when i get to the end. Cracking man cave. So jealous .
Dean sorry to back track but what did you use for the crossbows on the parrotmen?
Also let me know if you have any spare root looking  for a new home?

[Malamute]

Dean, Make sure you have got a build over agreement in place with the water board or you'll run into trouble if you come to sell in the future. I assume thats what you meant by fees to the water board and possibly indemnity insurance.

Yep, got both of those, not that I'm selling my man cave

Colin, the crossbows are from the GW empire crossbowman/handgunner sprue. Most people make hand gunners so it was quite easy to get them as bits. I just chopped the ends off and added beads to make them look a bit like bowcasters.

When I sort everything out I expect I will have left overs.
