Constructing my new Man Cave

Morning folks,

I've been wanting to get on for awhile and start a new thread following the construction of my new "Cave." We had that thread awhile back in the Ammo forum asking for images of guns, reloading benches, man caves, and etc, but I wanted to start a new one for this topic since I intend it to carry its own weight.

I am going to start the thread with a few consecutive posts to kinda give a better idea of the break down of construction steps so far. A big starting dent has been made, but its slow going as--like every true, authentic Cave IMHO--I am building it on the cheap and with whatever can be scrounged for free as much as is possible.

And, well, also....because my wife won't really let me work when she is home due to the noise it makes...I have to rush home each day from work and try to work a bit before she makes it there. Luckily, with her being a PA, she works late hours often.

Ok, the cave will be in my attic. The roof is stick built and there is a literally massive amount of space up there. With some skylights and a real set of stairs I could probably make my house 2 bedrooms larger.

These first pictures are the original structure to show the space I am working with as well as a floor plan that is generally to scale.
