LOL I've mentioned around here I might lose my man cave for a baby playroom. I'll be building a bigger room if that happens and everyone wins!

I say this, but it actually happened to me. Two kids later still can't afford to move - my "Man Cave" now is the master bathroom.

Funny thing Wedge that is exactly how my wife and I ended up with number 3. I was two week pre procedure when we found out that the little one was on the way and we had just moved into a new house with our two boys (plenty of room BTW) with a dedicated room for me...that changed. So procedure was put on hold as it just wasn't necessary any longer till post baby time; which allowed me to move our soon to be middle son into the room with big brother and setup my game room/office as the little one crib area till she was able to move to her own room.

Now 5 years later we are in a different house altogether and my wife tries to dominate the home office in the basement since it is the best room in the house.

Well the room is getting painted on Thursday, and the computer should arrive at the end of next week. I had to cave on the color of the walls. I wanted sage green ala the USAF's ABU and she wanted sky blue. Since she's letting me have the room I decided to pick my battles. Here's the kicker though: I'm getting away with hanging a camo net from the ceiling! ready

I'll mount my Air Force "I love me" wall stuff in there. thumbsup

Maybe I should get an AF Fathead to put in there....

Well it was BDU's and black boots when I was still in, but I'm rather fond of what they're using now. Wish I had green boots I didn't have to spit shine every day. Us SP's had to do that...

I had my own room when we lived in Phoenix Az, 7 miles from Luke AFB. I could hear the jets taking off in the morning. Now, in Louisiana I have a small portion in the dinning room frown but the wife is a good sport about it. Gonna be on leave from April 16-27th and looking forward to it. Will get some time to work on my pit, just wish my money was here so I could get my new computer. Maybe I'll even hang up some of my stuff also. Got a HOTAS from a F-16, gold pan from Alaska, F-16 and A-10 20mm/30mm shell.....can't wait.
