A Refinished Basement, Porch, Garage or Den can be Renovated into a reclusive male oasis.

"On Thanksgiving Day all over America, families sit down to dinner at the same moment—halftime." — Unknown

Football is as traditional at Thanksgiving as turkey. Aside from this important spend-time-with-the-family day, the rest of the year the man can retreat to his own private oasis (aka refinished basement). What better secluded area, with a drop ceiling and carpeted flooring installed, that can be made to be virtually soundproof. Here is where the male of the household can manifest his own personal style without impacting the remaining household décor.

I have been so involved envisioning and designing a new bathroom, this hugely popular man cave phenomenon has almost slipped me right by. Men all over the country and world are consulting with contractors and construction experts to help them transform basements, garages, attics, a shed or spare room into their own secluded lair.  Wikipedia describes the man cave as “a metaphor for a room designed as a male sanctuary, a specially equipped garage, spare bedroom, media room, den, or basement designed without female décor or design influence.”

It’s really all about you and your passions and favorite things. This opportunity to create something uniquely yours, in pursuit of a hobby, or a sports pastime, is unlimited and will fit any budget. This especially is a wise renovating decision when this type of home improvement adds additional living space and future resale value. Basement and garage projects recoup 66.8 percent and 57.2 percent of their original costs, respectively, at the time of resale, according to Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs. Value Report.

Creative ideas abound. The renovated space can be segmented or compartmentalized part viewing area with the prerequisite 52 inch TV, surround sound speakers, kegerator and private workout area with ready-to-use-when-you-are equipment, no matter how crazy your schedule is! Wikipedia cites one man who redecorated his space to look like a replica model of the bridge of Startrek’s Starship Enterprise. And who doesn’t remember the most awesome cave in comic book history, none other than Bruce Wayne’s Bat Cave with his high-tech gadgets and high-performance cars.

So ladies, indulge your man in his quest for the cave and revel in this evolutional pursuit of a private retreat. Explore the talent, passion and virility of your significant other. My only advice is to ensure that the washer/dryer remains down there too. If you are lucky, an occasional load of clothes may get themselves washed by your own special cave man!
