Great build man, I am very green with envy. SWMBO approved a 12x24 man cave in the back yard of the house we will one day buy. I was pushing for 18x24, maybe a few of these pics will win her over. If not, maybe a porch with added onto the cave will work. Either way I'm gonna be reviewing your posts for some inspiration. Again awesome work.

Thanks man! 12x24 is nice, but that extra square footage really allows you to do a lot more, like add a pool table. I think you would see that a 12x24 would also be a bit crowded if you ever entertain. During my latest parties, I found that it was getting crowded, mainly because the bar was in there now, but that also allowed people to crowd around the bar.

Some updated pictures of the inside of the bar.

Here's the latest picture of my backyard. As you saw from some of the construction pictures, I was also working on a hot tub, patio area. The vine covered trellises surround that area.

all is beautiful, but where are the growing hops?

Thanks! The hops are growing in my garden, which is straight beyond the vines. I have a twine going up to the side of my house. I just planted them last April, I don't think I'm going to get much this season. Phoenix heat is killer!

I think it's about time I update this thread. I decided to finally finish the bar. I was about 92% done, with all that was left was mostly trim, including floor molding, window and door trim, crown molding, and a shelf trim that is placed above the wainscoting. I also ordered 8 more barstools, stained and varnished them and made shelves for the back bar. No more stacking glasses... woot!

Staining chairs and all

Staining shelves

Window trim in

How about a shelf outside?
