I guess it’s technically a man cave. There is a TV that I occasionally use and a Bluetooth speaker that gets a lot of use. I maintain all my cars here and work on other projects and do "manly" things. I really do enjoy this space. It's a 30 x 40' detached garage with my wifes massage studio above the other two bays. I built it about 7 years ago and did everything except the slab, sheetrock upstairs and the metal roof myself.

Holy crap! Now I’m even more enthusiastic about clearing out space in the garage just for me.

Thank you. It’s a little cluttered right now with some projects. Adding back A/C to the 911 and refinishing a mid century coffee and end tables. I went overboard when building it with insulation but it stays very comfortable in the summer but the winters get a little cool especially upstairs. We are planning to add a dual head mini-split in the next month or so. I’m on the fence about doing it myself or hiring it out. It’s hard for me to pay others for things I can do myself but I’m running out of energy and drive.

I have multiple rooms in my shop/hangar but I generally spend the most time in a smaller room with multiple workbenches, welder, lathe, milling machine, sand blaster, RC cars/planes, upholstery sewing machine, tv, fridge, bar and computer. Whole shop is heated but the large storage area is only kept at 45 in the winter unless I am working on something large in there or playing pickleball in the winter in there. Another medium sized room has two post lift and is also a paint booth which is where I work on cars and other toys. I keep this room at about 50 during winter unless I am working on something. I also have a bathroom with shower and a small office in the building.
I spend every evening and weekends in my smaller room which is kept heated and airconditioned. It is a mess right now and someday I would like to re-organize it to make it look nicer for when friends visit. I am only in my house for meals, sleeping and an hour or so each night watching tv with the wife before bedtime. Same routine now for 30 years... Can't imagine life without my shop/man cave.
