Morning Fender, HWMO doesn't, our garden and home isn't big enough, but my younger brother has a brilliant one. When he lost his wife and moved from the country back into town, he bought a house with a workshop in the back garden. (massive garden). The workshop was huge, measuring about 7 metres length x 4 metres width.
He started off by just wanting to keep himself busy so decided to change it into a Man Cave, where he, my brothers, his son and friends could chill out. so first he completely cleared it out, cleaned it from top to bottom, (he already had electricity there as a previous workshop) but also had a wood burner put in, painted and carpeted it fully throughout. put in 2 tall Coca-Cola fridges, a small bar, shelving to hold spirits and glasses. a huge flat screen tv, a snooker table with all the added extras, a dart board with chalkboard and mat, two black leather 3-seater sofas and 2 armchairs, and a proper green baize card table and chairs. He has spent a fortune on paraphernalia for the walls, (mostly American themed beers and vintage classic cars).
By the time he finished the project, the women were allowed in!! just to see the finished product. He is really proud of it! When he has barbecues in the summer months, it's full of men only in there, (we women don't mind as we get the pick of garden seats)
It proves very popular any time of the year for that lot. The only females allowed are the four legged kind that follow him everywhere.
