Spelunking

Since mom and dad are working today and I'm just sitting here by myself I wondered if you would like to do a little spelunking with me.

Work on the man cave still isn't complete but dad sure has gotten a lot done around here. He's pretty proud of his tv/entertainment wall. The bottom part of the wall is built around his tv stand that holds all his stereo equipment. It has an electric fireplace in it too.

This is just looking down in to the cave from the top of the steps. I hope you don't get dizzy looking all the way down there.

Dad says he doesn't like the stuff where it is on the wall so he's moving it but it's still there for now.

This is the corner where dad's desk is. He does all kinds of important things here like taking care of email correspondence and  winning badges on pogo.
We still have some cabinet doors to make, the stairs to finish, some trim work and the floor but it's come a long way since last year.
You can see previous post about it here and here and there may be others but I just don't have time to search for them.
Thanks for spending time with me today.

Poor Duke---looks so lonely and dejected!!!!! ha

The "Man Cave" is awesome... I may not be a man-but I'd love that place myself.

Hugs,
Betsy

Hey Duke! Surprised your mom let you have your say on the blog today! The mancave is looking real good! Hope your mom and dad get home soon so you will have somebody to hang with!

Thank you for showing us the 'man cave'. Do you usually get to sit in that nice sofa? Looks comfy.
Say 'Hello' to your Mom and Dad for me.
Best wishes & hugs,
Anna

P.S.
Tell your Mom that she is 'first commenter' on my K-post and gets an extra link back here to you!

Well, you don't have time 'cause you're busy showing us how to go spelunking. I'm glad that the bats hidden in the darkness of the cave didn't show...I would still be trippin' over the steps.

PS....LOVE the paneling!!! That's gorgeous!!

From the post below this...not only did YOU miss the house being removed, but I missed this POST. How? I don't know.

Sad to see it go...just hope the church if they bought the property, doesn't turn the land into a parking lot or something ugly for you guys!!

Lin said...

So, are you allowed down there in the cave? It looks like a nice place to hang out for a man with his dog.

Catherine said...

That man cave is looking terrific Duke! And if I lived closer I would totally be laying on that couch beside you! :)

The man cave looks great! I would be happy in there. Looks so cozy.

Rose Clearfield said...

Thanks for the tour, Duke! I hope that the renovations continue to go well.

Sandee said...

Every man needs a man cave where his wife can lock him in now and then. Just saying.

It's looking great. Lots of improvements indeed.

Have a terrific day and thanks for telling me about what dad is doing Duke. My best to your mom. :)

Ginny Hartzler said...

It looks fabulous!!! But I am afraid that when it is done you will never see him again, he will retreat to his hangout!!

Unknown said...

Okay, I am now officially jealous.

Chatty Crone said...

Okay - is your woman cave just as wonderful and are you going to be allowed in there?

john bain said...

Good post Duke. Looks you have lots of nice places to curl up in. If Dad doesn't want that wall hanging, I'd like to put a claim on it. John likes bright colours. Lots of love Sadie x

Reeni said...

The man cave is looking good! The cabinet is a masterpiece!

Erika said...

You know, we have been covering up the knotty pine in our house but y'all make all of that wood look good and perfect for the space. Ours had turned an orange-red color so maybe that is why I did not like it so much anymore.

Though, I am not crazy about all of the work I have done and still need to do.

And when you figure out how to be balanced, let me know. I can always use help in that area.

BeadedTail said...

Duke, do you get to use the Mancave when your dad isn't there? It looks like a pretty cool place to be! Is that a Kasey Kahne #9 Budweiser car?

marie said...

The built-in wall is great and I love the ceiling! Thanks for the tour Duke.

Marie said...

It's so good to see you Duke! That man cave is looking good. I like the built ins under the tv. Does your mommy have her hang out area? Will that be the next project??

Helen said...

He sure got a lot done, Duke! Tell him that I like his entertainment center. I like the built around the stereo. It makes that area look nice and neat.
