Bah, that's as big as my studio flat.
But I also have it only for myself :-)
Great man-cave indeed, but now you need equally huge rig and some gadgets to get rid of the empty space.
I recommend large fridge for beer, a must have in any man-cave :-)
 
When will it be my turn?!

Can I ask how much that set you back/what your budget is for the project?
Click to expand...
Cabin was 7500 with all the extras
Insulation was 800
Base 800
Spent 8.5k pound already, estimate 11k by the time its finished :D
