So Bigstick's thread Shop or Man Cave and the dizzying heights of the current Powerball jackpot got my day dreaming juices flowing...
I know I have told my wife that if we ever hit that thing, we are selling our house in the 'burbs, buying land out in the sticks, she can have whatever house she wants, but I get to build a "dream barn / shop". Part woodworking shop, part auto repair / 4x4 building shop, with a man cave for a second floor, complete with bar, pool table, dart board, and since it's private property, a nice seating area on an upper deck with ashtrays for enjoying a cigar and scotch with some friends, and of course a stage / recording studio, and a mild FOH PA system (FOH = Front Of House for those not familiar with the acronym.).
Best I can pull off now is shop in the garage, very cramped music room in spare bedroom, and for the few parties we throw, deck in the back yard as a stage. (My friends and I play fairly low volume / never any annoyed neighbors of L.E.O. visits...)
