.......and that just didn't seem fair.

so I made my own. Welcome to the fem cave. My own weird, creative niche in this already crazy house. And it's pretty much awesome - an insight to my odd personality.

...I still have no place for my extensive die cast car collection though......and the stingray will probably go to the garage when I figure out seating. But it's getting there. :yesnod:

Cool! I see evidence of a bunch of your hobbies in there. :)

Did you take over one of the bedrooms or a study or what?

I just figure Kevin has his shop and the garage, so the rest is mine. :D

ps He gets some drawers and hanger space in the house, and I cook for him, so don't any of you guys go trying to say that I'm a meanie!!!!

Took over the front bedroom. Only had some bunk beds in it, and a treadmill. We rarely ever used it, so Dixie let me take it over. Needed a room for sewing and storing all my photo stuff. Dixie keeps talking about his 'man cave' in the garage, so I wanted my own too. (mine is cooler) :D

Very cool! I love the cameras, especially the Polariod. It is amazing how fast they went from having the amazing technology of literally developing before your eyes to being so outdated. I have several Polaroids from one of the first models my Grandpa had to order back in the 1950's because the camera shop wouldn't stock something so expensive. I also still have the one from the 1960's that my parents took many of our pictures growing up.

I also like the Stingray, wish I still had mine from the early 70's.

Very good! The "rarely used" part sounds like our dining room. I suppose I could have a desk in there instead of the dining table. :lol:

I love my old cameras. That Kodak Duaflex was my grandad's from the early 50's. I found it covered in dust on the farm when he passed away in '04. I've shot a few rolls of (120) film in it, but now I shoot TTv (through the viewfinder / digital) with it. That red truck picture behind it was taken with the duaflex. :yesnod:

and I basically just put my digital camera lens in that little 'shade' I've constructed out of heavy paper to block the light of my Duaflex. Here's a few other TTv's I've taken.

I posted my man cave at CF and got roasted, oh well to each their own. Yours looks nice to me.

I finsihed mine about a year ago, full bath, theater seating, wet bar, office and fireplace. Yes the stools suck but I had to let my wife pick out something. If I could move the BBQ down there I could live in it :D

Here, everyone here should get a chance to flame mine as well;

Not to hijack this thread but my father used to live in an actual cave, or at least the den was. It was a house in Birmingham, Al, the bottom part was built back up under a very large rock, stairs up to the top of the rock where the bedroom was. I believe the kitchen was way back and one wall was rock as well as the wall in the dining area and den.

Now, back to Yammas fem cave.
