y dont u just use your basement tough? that looks like a lot of fucking work for a gym.
Because my wife has a problem leaving me alone when i lift, I decided to build my own little house for a weigght room. This way I can lock her ass out and lift without interuptions. It will be one room with the inside deminsions of 36' x 24'.

Poc 2 walls going up.

I don't have a basement. I built my own 2200 sq ft house. Just me and the wife. 1/3 of my house is a custom kitchen. 24 x 24 with two center islands

Screw that. If I had the land and the $$$ I'd do the exact same thing. The music would be LOUD and I'd be in there any damn time I wanted.![]()
Rules? You mean we have RULES for that???


Duh, so his wife can't set it on fire trying to smoke him out while he's locked himself in.Originally Posted by LexusGS

Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012
looks awesome, tough![]()

Wrong there. First I live in Baja Calif which is part of Mexico. Mexico doesn't have wood down here. So they pay a 33% import charge to have lumber shipped here. A 2 x 4 x 8 stud cost $4.85 down here. Blocks are .65 each making it cheaper do build in blocks verses wood.

just think if we deleted the two word only thread, the post whore thread, etc., then their post counts would drop to about half!
I like the cinder block approach. Like building a fortress. Concrete and Iron seem s appropriate for a gym![]()

It's not finished you dumbfuck. It still needs the remaining blocks put up, 6 - 4 x 4 windows, 2 sliding glass doors, a roof, stucco and then paint. Whats you weight room look like. A garage with half it filled with Green Tea!

After leaving my first wife for a younger lady, she ended up with half my retirement. it was the only place I could live without going back to work.
