hi todd,

cant afford to air condition 4600 sq feet with a 20 foot ceiling. i would have to get rid of the house.

there are vents in the roof and the two big windows at the back are for airflow. i will get one of the large portable evap coolers.

but....the mancave will have hvac. i have a buddy who does hvac and will help me. the mancave is 450sq foot.

what isnt shown is the kitchen area. it will have a full kitchen with a baking/canning/party kitchen.

i am contracting out almost all of it. i will do the wiring and buildout of the mancave. the contractor is doing rough plumbing for it and framing of it.

i will have the ceiling and top 12 foot of the shop drywalled, textured and painted. i will leave the bottom 8 foot undrywalled so i can do the remaining electrical, plumbing, air lines, etc.

i fully expect richard to come help me do that since he is retiring. (and anyone else....ha)

hope to break ground this month yet and it will take 3-4 months to complete.
