Published by BidABuilder. com 5-7-2009 MASTER OR SERVANT?Are you the master of your domain? Does your home have a Man Cave for you or your man? If not, I have a few tips for the guys out there (or “wives of guys” if that applies to you, my dear female readers) that could turn a spare room or a corner space into a Man Cave masterpiece. A man sometimes longs for a private “Man Area” undisturbed by lost TV remotes or Elmo DVD’s stuck upside down in the player with gooey sweet stuff all over it. And, we long for a fresh stock of cold brews conveniently located in a mini-fridge within knuckle’s reach of our lounge chair. Can I hear an “Amen!”  from the men in the audience if you agree with this statement? Well, family life in most homes makes having your own “Ultimate Man Cave” a challenge at best. Between the baby toys strewn about (the deadliest weapon known to a man’s bare feet), the wife’s work out video and the kids always in front of your video game system, having your own ‘private area’ seems a long way off. Or, at least until the kids get to college which is really only a few years away when you think about it. At BidABuilder. com we want to challenge our men out there to fight for your right to get the Ultimate Man Cave of your own! And why not? Home Improvements and Home Repairs aren’t for sissies. Hiring good Remodeling Contractors through BidABuilder. com is the correct thing to do when you need a professional electrician or a plumber who can legally move things around and has all the tools to do it. They are also licensed and Insured so you don’t have to worry about extra liability working in your home. Doing your Man Cave renovation is worth every penny and it adds value to your home which will please your wallet. BidABuilder. com CEO and Founder Dennis Cunningham told us in an interview: “I have two teenage daughters, so I know the value of having your own Man Cave and I have a personal gym and work out space in my home. By using BidABuilder. com to create your perfect Man Cave makeover you know it’s going to be done right the first time by professionals. And you can get the best price you can find in your zip code. I use BidABuilder. com for all my home improvements, you should do it too. ” Dennis knows all about Man Things with plenty of high end toys that include 2 jet skis, a boat, one of a kind custom Chopper Bike and a Black Ferrari tucked in the garage. We know you work hard all week to bring home the bacon and you deserve a little pampering and privacy sometimes. Right? We say a Man Cave is not only possible, but can happen quickly by using a qualified contractor and building expert. And, depending on your budget, you can create an enviable Man Corner of your house or convert the basement or garage into a full fledged Man Cave Palace all alpha males with start drooling over. Garage Renovations are a good way to renovate your home without pricey building requirements. Get organized at the same time. And think about it. . . a Man Cave remodeling might be just what the doctor ordered to make your wife a little weak in the knees when she sees you in all your man glory shouting at the referee (in high def I might add) during game time. And, playing your video games will be more fun without the ridicule of your woman telling you to “. . . grow up and share the games with the kids!”. MANLY, YES. . . BUT SHE SHOULD LIKE IT TOO!Ladies, now don’t get me wrong. I know it’s your house! But letting the man feel like he has a little slice will reap you great benefits. Look, I know all the men out there could easily get the power tools out and create a masterful Man Cave in a jiffy by yourself during a free weekend. Right? But why risk electrocution and more stress when you can BID OUT the “Cave” remodeling to another capable male and order him around all weekend? You can be sipping beer while he’s hustling rear. Our BidABuilder. com guy might even show you a few cool new man tricks performed with a power drill (and our contractors have ALL the cool tools). Your wife will be impressed with your male bonding skills and ability to manage another group of real men who build stuff. Ooga Booga!. And, you ladies out there are aware that giving the gift of Man Cave-ness is the newest trend in a Father’s Day, Anniversary or Birthday gift for your hubby or boyfriend. Oh, and you get a new leathery couch out the deal too! It’s a WIN-WIN for you because hubby disappears for a few hours to only re-appear refreshed and chilled out having spent time in his domain doing Man Things. I need a banana now. BUDGETING There are many budgets for remodeling work, but for under $500 the ball could get rolling in the right direction for a partial room “makeover”. If money is not a problem (and the husband’s man stuff is starting to annoy you) then an spare room or basement could be converted for a few thousand dollar into a Man Cave paradise. Some of the popular components of a Man Cave remodel are the following:> Home Entertainment Systems (the bigger the screen, the bigger the plays, the bigger the man!) BidABuilder. com allows you to create a Home Theater Installation project and then see bids from qualified technicians who can do the installation. It’s easy to get the ultimate entertainment system or brand new HD system of your dreams put in within a few hours. And with HD conversion a no-brainer it’s “game on” for the hottest new brands of TV’s and Surround Sound systems. > Comfy Manly Chairs (and the little lady will like to curl up with you there too!) Removing or adding a wall can create a unique spaces for more places to put the ole’ caboose. Of course, if his friends come over now that he has a Man Cave of his own that’s not our fault, but if your man is happy you will be rewarded with trips and jewelry. We suggest some plastic covers and mats around the new furniture for easy clean up. > Trophies and Trifles Professionally mount your trophies and other man prizes and valuable sports mementos in a trophy case built by a pro. This will not only add to the allure of your Man Cave but will fill your friends with a deep rage that they do not have a Man Cave of their own! Ruh! > Window’s Optional (going with the cave vibe is OK)Men are from Mars and the sun is very dim there. Windowless rooms (like a basement or large walk in closet) or a spare back bedroom (even a back yard shed like Snoop Dog) can be renovated cheaper and easier because windows are not necessary for most men. As a matter of fact, we only really need the dim flicker of a TV screen or computer to stimulate our man vision. Also, during winter we tend to sleep more making light an annoyance. Food and drink are not optional so make sure you have a mini-fridge nearby. > Track Lighting (not just for sissies anymore!)The need for lighting however is still necessary to see all your Man Things and track lighting can add the drama missing in most peoples lives. There’s nothing sissy about that dimmer switch that can WOW your friends when they first come over with a dramatic lighting entrance. Have your lighting installed by a professional electrician through BidABuilder. com so it’s done right and up to code. Un-Handymen husbands might screw up the job the first time around so you’ll have to hire a pro anyway fix it after you’ve messed it up. > Pool Table (bumper pool tables OK)Nothing reeks of “Manhood” like a pool table. Women get into pool too. Of course, the kids will never be able to get off the table for a few days after it arrives. Have a professional level off the ground for you and BidABuilder. com Handyman services will give you a good hourly rate to have that pool table installed by a pro. Rack of cues on the wall are a man-cave must have item. > Dart Board Alley. (bombs away!) Most men long for a dart board in their own home. And, it’s an easy item to install and the more sophisticated dart ‘rooms’ add a cool Pub like atmosphere to most Man Caves. > Outdoor Grills and Paradise Islands Create Your Isle of Man And, if caves aren’t your thing you can create the ultimate outdoor “Paradise Island” complete with a state of the art natural gas grill and other amenities.
