Hi guys, this is my first time posting in #mancave created by #brofund and i'm sure not my last, here's a little story of what happened when I needed new space for my bikes and things.

We all need that special place to disappear, to collect our thoughts or just get away from the white noise and get under a car bonnet. With this in mind a while back I embarked on a man cave project. it is built on my friends farm but is very much a shared space for us and our big boys toys. The plan was to build something big enough for a couple of cars and motorcycles along with the pinball machine and other nik naks.

Incorporating a existing concrete block shed we added a large timber structure to end up with 3 large spaces, it ended up much bigger than we initially planned but hey room for more toys, that can't be bad.

What better way to start a project like this than to break out the digger and shift some land around and make some access, the finished building will sit in the hillside.

First actual building job was to get a concrete floor down, this finished the timer frame was knocked up taking us about a week in total.

As to be expected once out of the cab of the digger the UK summer was not on our side and it rained every day and then stopped the day after we had finished the frame.

With the main structure built it was easy going from here, the outside was clad with Scots pine feather boards, roof is high grade corrugated tin and inside the panels are insulated and boarded with Spruce panels except the original block walls that were painted white. Fast forward a couple of months battling through on and off bad weather and this is what we ended up with.

This is still early doors in the build and more toys will be housed in here plus two more rooms to fill oh joy, I will share a deeper look into the ultimate cave in the near future but for now this is a deep as you get to peek!

Until next time stay safe folks!

Thanks, the Alfa Romeo is a special build, under the normal exterior is a race tuned engine and suspension it's a bit of a beast.
