    Ultimate Vintage Man Cave

    Well, good news and bad news. My city is talking about selling the ultimate Man Cave, Fire Station No.1. Whats the bad news you ask? The asking price is going to be 2.2 million dollars! Sadly it will probably go to a syndicat made up of Cretans who will make it into office space. Should be a law, fire stations can only go to true Motor Heads!

    Looks like an ideal spot for the local franchise of Ghostbusters.

    dhermann1 - could you please email me via my profile page in reference to the Dithridge sister's. I have not figured out how to contact you other than a
    forum posting, or if someone knows how to contact a member please educate me. -Janet
    That thing looks sweet; can we see some interior shots?

    My little dream is to create a similar building, perhaps a bit smaller, in a Victorian architectural style, as my "man cave" study.

    Yes, I'll post some interior shots as soon as I get my computer at home up and running. Lightening took out our router and probably cable modem on Saturday during those mid-atlantic storms.

    I should re-classify this 'man cave' to a 'man cave system'. It has 4 floors - walkout 1/2 basement in the back, full 1st and 2nd floor and an attic w/pulldown steps. Needless to say I don't see much of my husband anymore, but I always know where to find him!!!

    I wouldn't mind owning one of the old Maginot Line forts. Heck, if you can convert an old missile silo into a home...

    George Bernard Shaw, author of the English literature's greatest play, "Pygmalion," also had a writing hut, but his could pivot and as the sun moved across the sky, he would turn the hut and he always had light through the window.

    Gigagirl: I think you need to get more posts up before you can message. The Dithridge sisters were quite a bunch.

    Pygmalion is English literature's greatest plays.... surely no scholar would argue that. It's fun, but....
