I am afraid to utter this out loud for fear that a tree will fall on it or a water pipe will burst under it but… the Garage is sort of finished. It’s not entirely finished. There are always punch out things to tidy up. And we’re still rebuilding the screen porch off the kitchen whose roof was desperate to cave in any second. It would be hard to feel like we were really finished when we’re still flush with construction people and trucks in my driveway.
But we have a garage and we can park cars in it.
And the upstairs of the garage is finished. The Man Cave. You probably heard the choir of angels and just didn’t realize what it was.
Scott filled the entire refrigerator up there with beer the other day and a funny thing happened. Men showed up. I think they could smell the Man Cave’s unique musky scent and were drawn to it.
I was going to photo-document the evening. But apparently women were not allowed at the Inaugural.
But it’s cool. I’m practically a crime scene investigator with my mad observational skills. I went over this morning and snapped some shots. I can tell you exactly what they were up to.


I think it’s fairly obvious that the men started off with a chick flick. Then they pulled out the various nibbles and yummies that the men brought and sat around noshing and drinking wine and discussing whether or not Angelina and Brad have actually broken up. And then to round out the evening they probably painted their toes and read gossip and home magazines while eating a cheesecake with their fingers.
All that subterfuge with the cigars and the booze and the poker chips isn’t fooling anyone.
Viva la Man Cave.


Congrats on getting completion. Now Maybe check the closets for pee-stains.
Getting drunk in a new place can be challenging.

It may have started off with a musky scent, but I’m pretty sure after last night it’s got smoky sweat scent. You are truly courageous for braving that to document the event for us. Good call on the goings-on. Cheescake with your fingers?? Men are so gross.

I’ve often wondered what men do in their man caves. You are crazy good with your CSI smarts. You ROCK!!
So, do you think you’ll be able to infiltrate eventually? Because you know if the men keep hanging out in there it’s going to get that bad man odor. You need to get in there with some Febreeze, stat!

My jealousy has reached critical mass.
I want to play in that man cave!
(Also, the picture of the cigar? ‘Tis gorgeous. Don’t say I never gave you a compliment. You take pictures of stubby, stinky, cancer sticks better than anyone.)

You’re damn right those bottles are a subterfuge: they’ve got the caps on ‘em still….as if men would do that….
Bloody great photos

Macanudo cigars rock. Next time Scott’s out of town, can we have a tweetup in your garage? Cool.

I can’t believe that it’s done! Will we see pictures? I’m kind of fascinated by that project and was telling my husband about it the other day. Possibly because I’m 99% sure that your garage is bigger than my house.
Hey Jealousy….so jealous…this is what my husband can only wish for in the future. Yeah for you!

The pics are incredible! Thanks for the idea! You are matting and framing them for decor, right? I hope…
