Andy's man Cave


Rog arrived back in the Cayman Islands just one day after his successful Banderas Bay Regatta ready to start projects that our daughter Jennifer had lined up for him long ago. She wanted to mosquito proof her husbands outdoor pavilion that houses pool table, BBQ, flat screen TVs and other boy toys with the intention of sending Nicholas outside to play with the guys. So after searching on the Internet Andy found mosquitocurtains.com and we ordered up the necessary drapes for seven doorways. They would ship in just two days so it was time to get busy.


Roger first decision was on the header board that would hide the mosquito netting track and would also work to mount the curtain rods that would be the finishing touch.  Of course he picked out a marine grade deck product that would never warp or discolor.




Andy did provide Rog with a crew of three to help him with the project soo they got up on the scaffolding to install the header board.  Thank you very much for all the help.










While the guys were installing the header boards Jen and Dad were busy picking out the drawer hardwear for the new BBQ and island cabinets.  All the door fronts would be romoved later and treated with a teak oil.  Look for the difference in later photos.








Andy will need a two drawer beer cooler as well as an outside ice maker if he really wants to spend quality time in his man cave.  Sink would be a nice touch too.  The installation was a time consuming project spearheaded by Rog.  The plumbing, the electrical was a challenge but it came together perfectly!









A beautiful black countertop was finally installed.  Notice that the teak has now been oiled.




The drapes and the mosquito netting have both been installed.  The "big ass fan" has finally been wired and tested for air movement.  It moves tones of air
but it sounds like a jet airplane taking off!!!!!!














Final project looks great and we are ready for our first dinner party that Jenny held for us the night before we left.  Andy BBQed and Jen mad fabulous salads for ten of our Cayman friends.











Nicholas and Grandmother gave the room our seal of approval!! No bugs and very cool with the fan blowing.
















Next project when we come down at Christmas is to figure out how we keep the dogs off the furniture!
