Margaritaville "Man Cave"

Post by FinsUp6835 »

So over the last 6 months, I have been turning our two car garage into a livable space. Insulation, heating, cooling, and finished walls and floors. This was needed if I was going to turn our garage into Margaritaville. I am about 90% done and as promised, would love to share some pics with the people on here because I think they would appreciate it. One problem. I have no idea how to post pictures to this forum. Is it just the attachment option below? Or, do I have to do something special like my profile pic? Any help would be appreciated and I will post the pics when I find out how!

Fins up!

Try these steps
scroll down below post space,click on attachments'then click add files.You will have abar with your pictures.
Open up a file and choose a photo.It is too big to fit on this forum and must be resized.
Right
A bar pops up. Left click the photo.
Click on edit
new bar, click resize.
new bar,find the space that shows" 100" (percentage) backspace and put in 25
This will shrink the picture
at the bottom click OK.
Upper right corner,click X
a bar will show "Do you want to save......
click save
The photo goes back into the file. Cick open
It will now copy to the post. This takes a few seconds.Hit submit. It should post.
If I wasn't fishing in this all day rain,I'd be home doing something stupid.

So here are some pics of our new Margaritaville in NJ! I still have some things to do. Next weekend my friend and I are going to FINISH the actual bar - as you can see from the pics the bar is only the "skeleton" of it. My wife is also going to add some of my favorite JB quotes on the wall and I still have a lot more vintage framed posters to hang etc. I think its coming along pretty nicely! First two pics are here!

Might have to take you up on that [smilie=battingeyes.gif]

Seriously though, you did a GREAT job of turning your garage into a really cool place to hang out! I like the land shark/surf board/chair. I appreciate your Kenny items as well.
You're only as young as you are right now. Make the best of it!

I see photos! YAY! I don't understand the quota thing at all. I used to have 6 pages of photos and now,4. I have to delete old ones to post new. I don't think you will need to resize from your originals. The photos here could be much larger. If you resize them to original size, you could repost.
The cave looks great!

That's pretty sweet.
For our next house, I'm going to get an elevated structure (no basements where we live in the south) and build sports/Buffett bar/ mancave. I've got some cool memorabilia to hang including a framed set list that was taped to the floor under Jimmy's spot. A couple signed Cubs ticket stubs from when JB sang the 7th inning stretch a couple times at Wrigley.
Roll with the punches
Play all of his hunches
Make the best of whatever came his way

He made up with intuition
Plowing straight ahead come what may
