A Real Man Cave and his back yard

[Tazz]

Good on him. Just because you're conditioned to think you need to surround yourselves 4 walls and a white picket fence, and this guy isn't, doesn't make you any superior kind of person. No doubt he'd be an interesting dude to chew the fat with.

Personally I'd throw some of those vehicles away while there is still the option (not the Bedford!), but I really doubt he gives a flying fawk what anyone on here (or probably anywhere) thinks

Also those surfboard seats are

I didn't know the Mashman World theme park had opened.

Pretty tidy man-cave... tidier than some I've seen!

Oh, by-the-way, what's that big shed in the background for? Let me suggest... perhaps that's where he "lives".

Just how many of you "live" in your man-cave as opposed to "visiting" it?

Looks like a good place to get on the piss but fuck living like that

[unstuck]

I would imagine he lives in the house in one of the pics, and drives what looks like a late model Hilux. Cant be that much of a hobo.

Not going to get into a slanging match on this thread, but the chap ,Phill does live in the lean to. I wouldn't waste my time posting a made up story. The machines buried in the blackberrys belong to the farm, others belong to Phill. He was in an old caravan until it fell to bits. His is probably the roughest living conditions I have seen someone in, but he likes it. I asked him if I could post the photos here and he was quite okay about that.

The woolshed behind has a shower and a toilet, thats all. Phill sleeps on the couch, pays the farmer $75 a week, including power. When I was there yesterday, Phil cooked on the little wood burner, Everything into the wok. Was good eating. He's just bought a new Honda scooter ( less grief from the cops ) and the two of us plus one other are going to visit Waiheke island about the end of February.

I could live content like that.

Lets face it some of us will have to if we ever want to retire.

[tigertim20]

fair enough if thats how he wants to live,
but it looks like a bunch of stuff that could have been easily saved if looked after with a tiny bit of consideration, that is now most likely completely fucked.

Good on the fella, as long as your happy in life, who gives a rats arse. I have lived in worse at times, and still had a ball.

Let's just hope his rent remains as reasonable after this lot have "improved" the property.
