Really like the overall 'clean and minimal' look you guys have created here. I also like the fact that you've got a mix of your passions on display, hockey and SpaceX, displayed around the room in such a tasteful manner. A gorgeous look all around.
Appreciate the kind words! It was fun to build, hard to sell it though but we used it lots while we lived there! In the process of building the next one, have more square footage to work with this time so should be pretty awesome when it’s done , however I set the bar pretty high lol
I like the little niche in the wall for the drink, remote and plug in. It’s the little things that make a difference. I _really_ like the Molson Ex light.
Appreciate it man ! New basement is coming along but running into a ton of plumbing issues, definitely has more potential once we pass these hurdles, will need to do another video of it soon 👍
Thanks man, I framed the wall like I would frame a window, then built boxes to fit in the opening , and just cover the boxes with stone or a nicer material to finish it off. Building two of them at the new house, maybe I’ll do a video on the process, cheers
Actually where I got the idea you’ll probably laugh….I was watching Rocky 5 I thought it was, anyways there was a scene where Rocky was talking to his son in the kids bedroom and he had a fish tank built above his bed ..I thought wow that’s pretty cool , plus I had a huge tank in my room growing up. So I thought why not build one in my reckroom..! It’s not my idea, it’s just a cool idea I copied from whoever thought of it!
Very nice and finally someone that doesn't have a million autos from babe ruth and every hockey superstar lol. All I want to know is what dumpster are all the leafs stuff in??? Loved the leafs for over 30 years and talk about a disappointment and matthews jersey is now in the bathroom used as toilet paper.
Appreciate the kind words! Certainly added value to the home , I’d say it probably cost roughly $30,000 CDN all said and done, but we did 95% of the work ourselves. I’m keeping a better tally of costs on the new basement, stay tuned!
Haha yea we moved, lived there for 6 years, basement basically finished for probably 2 of them so we got to enjoy it. Onto a bigger and *hopefully* better mancave now, I share my plans for it in the more recent video, cheers mate!
Thanks man! Had no room left in that basement but have recently moved to a new place (the newer video) with a bigger basement, thinking of building a table from scratch 🤙
Ran out of stuff to do, got bored 😂 enjoyed it for a couple years (made the video a little late) but really the house was too small for us long term so we are working on a bigger and (hopefully) better one now
The most Canadian video on youtube lol. Awesome
😂😂😂

Cheers mate!
Might be the best man cave I’ve ever seen!
Cheers Doug! It was a lot of work but turned out better then I imagined!
Beautifully done! Thanks for sharing!
The plastic sweater hangers are a nice touch...Love it!
Hahaha pretty sleazy agreed , I’ve come up with a better idea for the current man cave 😉
Super cool. At 11:18 I don’t know why I at first thought that was Senator Palpatine and Anakin Skywalker…. 😂😂😂😂😂
Dude I would kill for this. Absolutely amazing. There's nothing I don't like well done 👏

AWESOME! Especially love the jersey cabinets
I really like what you did with the bar. Very clean. Nice work.
I absolutely cracked at "I did the plumming myself and I'm an electrician" 😀
So I am assuming you like hockey.?! 🤣😂😅
Great space... Love it.
Awesome! Great job
Fantastic bar and well done.
Thanks for giving the tour ! Now subscribed

Fantastic work on you Basement, I'm in the process of doing mine and got some pretty good Ideas, thanks for sharing, Cheers!
Thanks and best of luck with yours, Would love to see the final product !
Love the commentary haha good stuff
looks awesome man
Very nice!!! Gave me some ideas as I am in the middle of building my bar/game room.
Awesome bring those ideas to life with your own twist , enjoy the build !
I like the little niche in the wall for the drink, remote and plug in. It’s the little things that make a difference. I _really_ like the Molson Ex light.
Some call it peak laziness, others call it brilliant , I know what camp we are in haha thx for the kind words
just straight gorgeous. Had to watch this vid 3x!
Thx man! Was a fun build, hopefully the new cave turns out as good !
Very cool ! ......My compliments.
Simply beautiful
Much appreciated 🙏
Looking forward to it! Thanks
You have your own cave must be great cuz it's absolutely
Looks incredible. Makes me think i need to man up and learn how to use some power tools. Good luck to the Leafs this year.
Cheers man, let the creativity loose!
Great video, shows a lot of your skills. To bad you’re moving, hopefully the new place will be even better. Good luck to you and yours.
Appreciate it man ! New basement is coming along but running into a ton of plumbing issues, definitely has more potential once we pass these hurdles, will need to do another video of it soon 👍
Looks better than "pretty good," looks great. From one NHL fan to another. I saw a Falcon 9 launch from Cape Canaveral a couple weeks ago.
Thanks man that’s awesome, hope to see a launch in person one day!
Looks good bro, clean work
Cheers man 🤙
nice setup
Looks good
i did the plumbing and im an electrician so.....😂😂😂😂 - great job both of you
Haha Appreciate it sir 👊
The jersey cabinets are unreal. They look fantastic. Any tips or ideas on how to make them?
Thanks man, I framed the wall like I would frame a window, then built boxes to fit in the opening , and just cover the boxes with stone or a nicer material to finish it off. Building two of them at the new house, maybe I’ll do a video on the process, cheers
My kind of guy. Thanks.
Cheers brother 👊
The whole place looks awesome. Great work! And you’re moving!! Bummer
Thanks man! Taking what I learned and building out a new one with more square footage stay tuned 🤙
Great job

The Lablatt splat 😂
😜
Nice

Nice.
Looks Great! Labbatt splats LOL we've all been there lol
Thanks! You live and learn 😂
The only negative aspect of living in Florida… No Basements! 😂 Sharp looking cave bro!!!
I might trade ya for sunshine and palm trees 😎
@@TopCheeseCustoms Yeah truth be told I’ll take the sunshine and palm trees!!!
❤ my place... 🍻
Go leafs. Good job
Much appreciated !
Very nice…did ya ever think about putting in a fish tank in the wall ? It’s pretty cool…kids seem to like it!
Never thought of it but it’s a great idea!
Actually where I got the idea you’ll probably laugh….I was watching Rocky 5 I thought it was, anyways there was a scene where Rocky was talking to his son in the kids bedroom and he had a fish tank built above his bed ..I thought wow that’s pretty cool , plus I had a huge tank in my room growing up.

Was wondering about all the Space X pics and models?? I made the Hydraulic clamping cylinders that hold the rocket on power up
The models I had a friend make with a 3D printer, he did an amazing job and the pictures are actually just posters that I made frames for
Very nice and finally someone that doesn't have a million autos from babe ruth and every hockey superstar lol. All I want to know is what dumpster are all the leafs stuff in??? Loved the leafs for over 30 years and talk about a disappointment and matthews jersey is now in the bathroom used as toilet paper.
Haha all for sale, for a good discount. You know anyone interested?? 😂
@@TopCheeseCustoms me about a month ago lol. I dont know if I can keep going as a leafs fan anymore
Fantastic job, very beautiful. One hell of a man cave!
Thanks! It was hard to sell, but working on a bigger one with more potential now!
@@TopCheeseCustoms can't wait to see that!
Holy moly what a goalie 😂
😜
In the UK we call that a whole house!!
We spent alot of time down there, probably should have just rented out the upstairs to be honest haha
This give me hope that I can install pendant lights despite my low ceiling. Do you mind sharing the height from the floor to the bottom of the lights?
We recently moved but I want to say about 24-28” from the ceiling to bottom of fixture
Looks like 72 3/4" from the floor.
Love this. I would never move lol. Did it increase the home value? How much did it cost in total? Is this house for sale lol
Appreciate the kind words! Certainly added value to the home , I’d say it probably cost roughly $30,000 CDN all said and done, but we did 95% of the work ourselves. I’m keeping a better tally of costs on the new basement, stay tuned!
Ya Dig
Beauty Eh!!!....A little Trailer Park Boys, SCTV, Triumph, and Rush memorabilia would make it 200% Canadian. Very nice though!!!
Haha I’ll keep Collecting, ran out of wall space maybe I’ll surprise ya on the current basement I’m working on 😉
Why are you moving? This place seems perfect !
Was a townhouse, got a little small for us, moving on to a bigger place. The new Mancave will be 2x the size and *hopefully* 2x better haha
Can you tell me how wide the counter is below your bartop?
I have since moved but I would say it was roughly 18-20 inches
sweet bar sorry about being a leafs fan but at least the oilers are on and you don't actually drink labatt blue Kokanee FTW lol cool place man
Haha yea it’s painful 😂 would be nice seeing the cup north of the border either way ! Agreed with Kokanee, cheers !
@@TopCheeseCustoms we usually win just in American jerseys lol
Facts right here ^^^
Did you say you were moving??? Did I hear that right. How long have you had this man cave?
Haha yea we moved, lived there for 6 years, basement basically finished for probably 2 of them so we got to enjoy it. Onto a bigger and *hopefully* better mancave now, I share my plans for it in the more recent video, cheers mate!
Poker chips but no table?? Looks great though!
Thanks man! Had no room left in that basement but have recently moved to a new place (the newer video) with a bigger basement, thinking of building a table from scratch 🤙
Are both tvs programmed to same remote ?
Two separate remotes, hdmi connecting both TVs, so I guess technically one remote if you want to watch the same thing on both haha
Where's the beer tapper ???
I bitched out 😂
Top Cheese Customs: If you're moving in 3 weeks why did you bother doing all that work?
Ran out of stuff to do, got bored 😂 enjoyed it for a couple years (made the video a little late) but really the house was too small for us long term so we are working on a bigger and (hopefully) better one now
