Temporary winter lounge facilities aka garage

[AlohaStyle]

Haha, this is a great thread... love the van seat man-cave! You should hook up with Craig Mac to see about adding onto his "Bachelor" threads. Your man-cave can be a good addition to the series. lol

And to add to it... Doug shows us his OCD issues. Saying that garage is a mess?!? lol

This thing even accepts coffee mugs!!!

I can't wait to have a man cave, some day......

Always hockey, football or Mets baseball on the tv and cigars in hand.

niccceee. how do you get fresh air in and smoke out?

 

[JuzCallMeDee]

Northern brothers with subzero winters often cannot smoke outside during some session, and while some fall into cigar lounges, others prefer using their garage. Its not inside, but its not outside and often is heated. Ventilation can be an issue, or seating.

Having recently moved to a house with garage, I was happy to setup such a winter man cave. I upsicled car parts to make the place enjoyable.

@3/5King convinced me in chat today to post pictures of it.
Here's the leather car seats and minivan tray used for cigar lounge.

The whole thing can be moved away and the tray folds

Opinions are welcome. Or post your own winter setup.

this is dope Herfdog!

Thanks!!


Its leather seats you feel right leaving in the garage. I am happy I decided to try that.

I strongly suggest other brothers to try it too if they can.

I didn't think of that originally but it could be awesome

It just came to me, my heated seats are great, f you could just sort out the electrical half of it

And I'm sure you could get one cheap from a junk yard

Should be a pretty basic electrical project. If you get the seats and have questions, just ask. There are a few of us here that would be happy to sort it out right quick, I'm sure!

I would likely use an old computer power supply, a 12 v transformer or a 12v battery. Its not too complex.

Yup! Only real question would be the wattage of the heater elements.

 

[Whtwtrman79]

Apparently I know where to go when I need to ask q's...

Basically any 12 volt DC 3-6 amp block transformer will do the job. Places online sell the heated pad you could pimp out your folding lawn chair if you wanted to

Mid 80s Lincoln towncar seats would be heavenly
