    I like bumper pool. You can probably fit one of those tables and a poker table in the room. Oh, and a trampoline. You'll need one of them and a slip 'n slide.

    My office just bought a foosball table for craigslist for like $140. So there's a thought.

    You realize that if your wife is dictating the terms of your man cave to you, it's not a man cave, right? It's just a room you get permission to use. :)

    Definitely vote for the pool table. And how about a dartboard?

    I'm just excited that two of my ideas were duly/dooley noted.

    A combination lock on the door so she can't come downstairs.

    Don't worry. It will be a verb and soon.

    i've also recently bought a home with a finished basement....so many plans but for now all i've done is buy standard black frames and frame all philly related SI covers (some i had to purchase on ebay for a couple bucks). Obviously philly doesn't have the rich SI cover history that boston, NY, etc, do so i've also framed some covers from my college, and of athletes i really admire (joe montana's first super bowl cover, etc)...anyway, all in all i have about 15-18 covers framed on that wall....

    Otherwise, my basement features a really comfortable couch and a bookcase full of live dead music.

    Next step is mounting a flat screen on the wall (kind of long term until we get back on the savings route) so i can watch the various sports packages each year without threat of divorce.

    Oh for pete's sake, I don't really like the term "man cave" but i am doing the exact same thing to my garage (no basements in California).

    Mine will have:
    refrigerator
    bar
    hi-def tv
    ping pong
    darts


    I started at the beginning of the year. My brother and i put up rafters, a floor for the rafters, and now have an "attic" the size of the garage for storage. Hired an electrician for a subpanel, outlets, cables for satellite, lighting. I've put up drywall on the walls and ceiling. Next is mudding the drywall, texturing the walls, patching the floor, coating the floor.

    It's been pretty fun.

    Why no basements in Cali?
