New Man Cave-Complete with 2 days to spare.

Well, I finally gave into the fact that it is freaking cold here in Massachusetts, and decided to move indoors, so to speak. I am having a 12' x 18' building built that will be my own personal escape from reality. Hopefully the shell will be up in 5 weeks or so, and ready for my finish work.

So far I have the general concept of bar, leather furniture, tv, etc down, but I would like suggestions on ventilation so that my wife and kids may visit me from time to time.

Has anyone out there done this that may know the most effective way to keep the cigar smoke from infiltrating everything?

Is rigid foam insulation better than fiberglass for this purpose?

Incredible job! Honestly I'm more jealous of your talent than your space...and I'm pretty darn jealous of that space!

Now I can actually enjoy this m'fer. 60" plasma up and running.

Hoping to get flooring in this weekend, then furnishings.

I want this 100% by 3/18, which will be exactly 90 days from start to finish.

not bad for nights and weekends with a 14 year old helper!

After that, my schedule and budget will finally free up for a bombing run or two!

Actually, I think you might need several chairs and ashtrays spread around the space for all the bros who'll want to herf with you there.

The best part was working with my two boys, ages 10 and 14. I asked them what they learned and the 14 year old said "a few new words" Lol. At least he took something from the experience.

Now it's time for a Tat lil Drac and a nap

Is there a particular reason for that? Is the smoke from a pipe less offensive when stale? Just curious.

pilgrimtex

When you walk into the house you will be hit with an aroma of cherry and vanilla from the pipe blends. Pleasant to the senses. Smoked a couple stogies in the attached garage and days later got complaints from Treva saying the place stunk like an old ashtray.
