...sorting the cave out.
This was quite a task considering I was at a wedding yesterday and drinking for most of the day...a very hung over work day today and the bending up and down to build these was a real pain in my heed.
But it's looking quite nice.
I've been on at the missus about somewhere to put the models I make. So we bought these (from Ikea). I am not an Ikea fan, but they were fine for the task, reasonably priced and, in their defence, went up pretty easily.
So I now have some shelving for my models to stand ;D
I also found some superb board games that I had forgotten I had. They were under the stairs in a cupboard. They are now on the bottom shelf (behind the sofa) and easily within reach ;)

Very smart - and the bottles of single malt are well hidden behind the sofa?
they wouldnt be 'Billy' bookcases would they?
Very nice display even if the shelves are from Ikea. Is that couch made of rich Corinthian leather?

we havent reached that grand old age yet, but i hear as you approach the golden years your ball bag gets really saggy and heavy - some have taken to having excess scrotum removed and artisans in the UK are making sofas out of ball bags - see here the Bawb Couch
no sir, not Corinthian leather, Ellisian Scrotum leather - luxurious and and soft, but youll slide off in the heat as it still emits sweat
I have some similar Ikea shelves. They are actually quite nice and sturdy.
Nice looking space, JD.
Very nice, man. It needs something on wall, though. Doesn't matter what, just something awesome.

That's the funniest thing I've read in DAYS!!! And...ewww.
I'm liking the Dredd-Quarters. Stylish but modest in a non wealth-flauting way. I think very Grog worthy without trying to be obvious about it.

I was a tad sick - especially thinking of it emitting sweat!

You know, they are. And I knew NOTHING about them or Ikea really. So when they came and the instructions had BILLY on them, my wife said "It was really nice of Ikea to personalise the instructions". I was like "I never even noticed that - how cool".......then I said, "Wait a minute, I never ordered them - how did they know my name?" which made my wife and daughter burst out laughing.
Gits. :knuppel2:

I have a picture in mind...photo to follow. Out of curiosity, which wall?
So this is "the entrance" from the living room

This is where the "TV monitoring", "model making" and "board gaming" (and occasional snoozing) takes place. The little unit on the left will be meeting it's demise (or finding another home) soon...

Uh...one of them? ;D
Very nice, JD.
We should have a man cave photo thread. Do we have one of those?
