Research, research and more research. How many TVs? How large? 65" plasma not good enough for you? Then go for a projector and a 100" screen. Hell go for both. This is your Man Fort. You don't want to have to be bother with turning your head to see that 3rd down play. And Beer. Where to keep the beer. A small refrigerator would do, or you could do something like the picture posted above. Why spend time in someone else's bar when you can have one in your Man Fort. Once you've decided what you want, start looking for contractors. Now I know, we are men, we can build stuff. However there are some things it just pays to have someone else do. For me the first step to my Man Fort was adding a walk out 6' french d
oors to my basement. This had to be done before just about anything else. The basement stairs were just too narrow to get any thing of any size downstairs. 12' sheets of drywall were definately not happening. So, I hook up with a contractor who I will not name because he absolutely sucks. Took 3 months to dig a hole, pour some concrete and cut a hole in my wall. To the left is how it stood for about 2 months. Repeated calls to said contractor largely went unreturned. It wasn't until I was ready to get someone else to finish the job that they showed up and poured the steps and got the door in. There's still plenty of finishing work to be done. I'll post some picture of that later. However on the door is there and I can move on with the project.
