My father has been busy building himself a man cave out behind the house.
- I keep calling it a she-shed and this is making him mad.
To me, a man cave goes in the basement and a she-shed goes outside of the house, my dad’s house doesn’t have a basement so he got a little shed and is turning that into a man cave. I have to admit, it is turning out good. The shed already had a wood lodge look to it. My dad got some comfortable chairs, a big screen TV, and a mini fridge. He also got a gaming desk to fit and hooked up his ipad. The only problem is that his she-shed has no heating or cooling. It is winter time now and rather uncomfortable in the man cave. He got a little space boiler and that is working pretty well but I worry about the safety of those things. My dad said he is thinking about getting a ductless mini split system installed in his man cave. I have never even heard of one of those. I was looking at PTAC systems myself for the cave. However, PTAC systems are super loud most of the time, and besides, you have to split a sizable hole in the wall. When I looked a ductless mini split systems I suppose that might be perfect for the she-shed. Those don’t require that sizable holes be split in the wall. They also tend to be quiet! Even more quiet than central heating and air. The little ductless mini split systems are not prohibitively luxurious either, and you can get one for just over a thousand dollars; Of course, upgrade costs a bit more but I suppose it would be worth it to make sure it is done right.
