I thought I'd share what I've been up to for the last three months. I'm so proud of this and tickled with how its coming together so far. My wife and I bought a new home last spring. When we looked at it, there was a one car garage on one end of the house that was used to store the previous owners toys, like motorcycles, etc. I told my wife if we bought the place, that was going to be converted to a man cave for my deer and gear. Anyway, I had this idea of using old weathered lumber that my uncle had lying around in stacks at his sawmill. I love old barns and the weathering that takes place on wood so I gave it a go. It took a lot of work, cutting the bad stuff out, ripping each board to the same widths, etc., but I'm thrilled with how it looks, especially once I got the deer on there. I still have a ton of trim to do and install the flooring, but its getting there. What do you guys think? Before I started: After:
I LOVE that wood!!!! I got a wall in my basement with it but it needs a lot of work. I'll do it someday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That first wall and ceiling are looking good Kidding. Also explains why you've been more scarce on here.
Very nice! I am home shopping currently, and man cave potential is right there on the must have list.
That looks really nice. I do some woodworking and use a lot of barn wood. I completely understand what you mean by all the work that goes into making it look good.
