1. Will a pool table fit downstairs in the basement? Does your basement have a welled exit?

2. If anything, with the bar in the breakfast nook, and your family room just off the deck, do your best to make the family room your man cave. You should figure as long as you have a recliner to sit down in, who cares what the rest of the furniture is...as long as she puts the frilly shit in the formal living room. I mean, considering she's already given you the bar and the TV, you can give in a little as well.

3.I'd wait on the pool table, show her you are willing to budge on it, and you might get more of a say on the furniture for the man cave. And if the pool table fits in the basement, you just got to extend your reach...put it down there. No need to clutter that into the man cave when you can have 2 places to get away...

4. I've got the basement in our house, but with 2 little ones, no money to do what I want to it. We've got room for 8 people to sit comfortably in front of the old 32 inch CRT, and where I wanted to put my poker table is now full of toys. I have some memorabilia to put on the walls if I ever get the chance to decorate, but for now I'm content with a place to get away from the kids and wife to watch the game.

It would if I knocked out 2 walls, but not comfortably. They themselves (the walls) are not structural, but the “I” beam goes through both of them. If I were to knock the walls out and place a pool table there, then we would have a low clearance (7 Ft.) over the table where the “I” beam is running. Another structural disadvantage of putting the table right there is the fact that the wall for the bathroom is so close. It would be like playing pool in a hallway. There would be plenty of room on the ends to shoot, but not nearly enough on the side. If you were to take a shot that were to require you to lift the stick quickly, you would almost certainly hit your cue on the ceiling where the low clearance is. I am going to measure again but I am not sold on the idea. BTW I do not have a welled exit. I have a sliding glass door that takes you straight out. Coincidently, the pool table in this scenario would sit about 6 feet directly behind that door.

I am trying to make the family room my man cave. She is already going to put the “silly little frilly shit” in the formal living room. Since we have never had more than one living room before, we already have to buy new furniture to go into the family room. I was thinking rather than buy a couch, love seat, coffee table, etc., we go ahead and buy the pool table, poker table, pub tables, and bar stools to go in that room. I am trying to save myself to time and money. If I buy a new LR suit and the manly amenities previously discussed, I will be spending more money. I am still going to get what I want…eventually. I will just have to put them somewhere else (possibly an addition to the home).

I just might have to wait, but that is what I am trying to avoid. It’s "either or" right now (LR suit or MA’s).

See... you wanted or still want to do some similar things, and now you may not be able to for quite some time. This is a fresh start and I am trying my hardest to get what I want right off of the bat. I have a feeling that if I put my man cave on the back burner, then it will stay there for a long time. All I will have is timeslot in which I am allowed to borrow the family room to watch the skins. She has the rest of the house (the kitchen in particular) why can’t I have 1 room? The crazy thing is that she doesn’t mind me having my own room…I just can’t have that one.
Edit: I am kinda eyeballing this collection.
