Show Us Your Man Cave

I agree, forget about the *******. That's close enough to house. BUT, the handsink is what I'd be after. I suggested this to one guy, and he did it. A commercial mop floor sink. Usually made of the same hard plastic that commercial mop buckets are made of. So he had a small room with a stainless sink, and the commercial mop sink in a corner and used like bathroom waterproof wallboard, sometimes called Marlite. Reason being, you can hang a shower curtain around the mop sink that drops just inside the sink. This way if you're all funked up in nasty mud or grease from outside, then you can take a quick shower out there and not funk up the indoor shower. The sink also comes in handy for scrubbing bigger parts. Not sure how rural you are, but he was even able to just pipe the drain to the outside about 3 foot away from the building to a lower area or made a small ditch to run the drainwater away from the building. It's just gray water drainage as in hand washes, showers and scrubbing and rinsing parts, like wet sanding and rinsing, maybe some oven cleaner at worst but it would be very diluted and no huge reason to be piped into your septic system as if your going to be floating turds to the outside of your building. Though if I was pretty busy or nasty dirty and didn't want to go in the house, and had to take a piss, it wouldn't hurt my feelings a bit to aim for the drain in the floor sink and piss in it either.

That's a good idea. I'm going to go ahead a plumb for a ******* and sink and just cap it off for when I decide to do it. My plumber said he would come do it for $50 before I poor the slab, so when I decide to pull the trigger I just have to run lines to the sewer. Best part is, before my house was built, there used to be trailer houses here, and there is a sewer line that runs right through the back yard that's not used anymore. No zoning or codes except state regs in my town, and being as how I'm the mayor, I don't think I will catch any grief tapping into it.

I wonder how @Mr Clean is coming on his shop.

Good question. Maybe it's built and @MrClean spends all his time in it now without a computer out there yet. You know he lives in a house with a wife and all daughters (grown so they come and go in between bf's and husbands like my daughter does) so when he escapes, he really escapes.

Here's how we're motivating my roommate to get his s10 project out of the garage...

Just 25 feet or so out the back door. It's not so much the commode I'm after, but a sink would be nice. I always said that if I ever built a shop it was going to have heated floors. But not sure that's going to happen now either.

When whoever built my shop had it done they did not put in a sink. I can't figure out why. There is already water right outside the door but they did not go ahead and add water to the inside of the building. Really wish they had before the concrete was poured. I could use one.

It finally quit raining. My slab is supposed to be poured Tuesday, the building should be up by sunday. Just finished painting the old man cave pink for the nursery. Hot damn I hate to paint.

Skweegle.....I'm super jealous LOL. Gotta show some pics. Are you putting any support for an engine lift in the ceiling?

I have one of those "sort of" two car garages. I have to do space swaps to work on stuff. Right now, the truck is getting worked on outside since it's a daily runner...

Mine is really poor, but works ok. It is more of a mess now with another table in the middle for working on audio equipment, but overall the same. Camaro fell on the background as currently trying to get all the daily runners finished.(A lot of minor projects)

Built a new shed on the side to hold all the yard stuff and spare parts. Don't actually have a picture of it when finished, but it is same color as the house

No lift in the ceiling. It would be nice, but right now I'm just concerned with having a place with doors tall enough to get my truck in. Damn thing won't fit in the garage anymore. If the rain holds off I will get some pics up this weekend.
