My pet peeve with HGTV is all these young couples searching for their first home expect to go into a home like the one their parents are currently living in rather than what they lived in as newlyweds. They want it all, their dream home, as their very first home and are not the least bit hesitant to vocalize their demands. One young woman looked at her husband and said, "it looks like you're getting a part time job" and he agreed. That's NOT the way to keep a marriage happy. ---stepping down off my soapbox---- sorry about the rant, got carried away a bit.
This also drives me insane. I don't know if Better Half & I are unreasonably responsible for people our ages but we did not expect to get everything we would have wanted in a house in our first home and we were adamant about not blowing our entire financial wherewithal on a mortgage payment.
I wish we could invite the Property Brothers over. We would give them zero guff. "Yes please that all sounds fantastic! And the scope of work will take <2 months? YAY"
What's a mancave exactly? I have a nice office at home complete with sofa, desk, nice chairs, coffee table, fireplace, painting on the wall etc. Is that a mancave?
A "Man Cave" is for a man that has no real hobbies, real men have a "shop"....
That sounds way too metro. A man cave has a beer fridge, guns, deer antlers, a pool table, big screen, ps3 and stereo. Tools are left in the garage or shed for stuff that requires work.
Don't get me wrong, shops are cool but it's still work no matter how you frame it, pun intended.
Now it has heat, lights and a TV (BIG Screen, of course) and it is called a "Man Cave".
Cave Man, maybe.
Gotta disagree with you here: the Dog House is where your wife wants you to go when you've been "bad". The Man Cave is where YOU want to go...and it's all good.

I hate the words man cave, but I do like having space where I can accidentally bang stuff against the wall (NO drywall), spill motor oil and throw some kitty litter on it, work on the lawnmower, spray paint something, etc. I'd like to have my "man cave" even if I lived in my home alone. I think most everyone regardless of gender like to have a clean zone which is usually the inside of the house.
