Being single has its advantages

So first I am going to brag about my old job calling me and asking me to come back! Absolutely I will take it back.
Now on to my main thingy.
My home which is a rental from a old family friend so I got a really good deal he gave me the go ahead to fix it up and add some things.
Since I have been out of work and had much free time I turned one of the spare rooms into a mini gym. The garage is completely turned into a man cave. I built a new deck in the back yard with led underlit umbrellas and the stands are under the deck.
My living room is already essentially a small movie theater.
But I want to take it a step further.
Does anyone have any thoughts?

Sounds like you've got a pretty cool setup and congrats on getting your job back!

Both being single and being married have their pros and cons, but I've got to tell you--sitting here with my second foot fracture requiring no weightbearing--that I don't know how I would cope without my husband.

Aww man I feel bad now. Is it a serious fracture or one that just requires you to chill for a week or two?
And if ya want some show recommendation I am happy to help.

Home theater, good workout room, nice deck. Sounds good. I would suggest, if you haven't, start a garden as well. Gardening is wonderful, it relives stress, and relaxes you and is fun. I would recommend planting some vegetables that you can use on a daily basis, like tomato, and herbs like basil, etc. But bushes, shrubs, grass, flowers, trees, and what not are also wonderful.

I actually am currently building a small green house on the side of my home. I am going to do tomatoes and herbs. But I have to keep them safe from the rabbit that has taken home in my stash of wood and metal.
I rearranged all of it to make her or him to live in. The coyotes can’t get her there. And I feed her every day. But I want my plants there. So I think chicken wire may be what I need and I have a lot of that.

Sex dungeon replete with gimp box.

Big taxidermy pieces are a must for any man cave.

I use to do stuff like that when I rented. What's nice now about owning though is keeping all that sweat equity.

Now that you're single...mirrors on the bedroom ceiling.

Trust me...the ladies love it.

make sure the kitchen is up to par.

I’m confused.
Your home which is a rental.

Are you renting or did you buy a former rental home?
Cuz if you’re renting, putting much money into fixing up someone else’s home isn’t advisable.

As far as being single.
That’s a personal choice and I choose not to be.
But I also got lucky to find a great woman... those are hard to find.

Unless you can do the work in lieu of rent. Then it is a win for the tenant and homeowner. If the work is done well.

As to home theater:

Ever notice how modern movie theaters usually cover their walls in sound-absorbing fabrics?

If you want that “Movie Theater Experience”, cover some thin plywood panels with fiber-fill batting (used to stuff cushions - see fabric/craft store) and fabric, hang on wall like pictures to improve the sound quality.

Learn how to make pemmican. That is high on my list right now. That and getting a good vacuum system for packaging it for long term storage.

I did own my previous house but had to sell. Made a decent dime. And my rental is owned by a family friend. All the upgrades I have made helps the owner.
In regards to being single I just want to be tied down. Nothing against people that are married or anything but that is how I want to live.

a reply to: Allaroundyou

Being tied down isn't always a bad thing....lol

Totally get where you are coming from as a hermit it took me 40 years to figure that one out , Do what i want when i want where i want .

I remember looking at this old dog of mine and thinking how many women have you seen come live with me over the years

I treated women like cars two years in and i got bored easily , then on to the next one for another few years i run out of fingers counting while looking at the dog , i remember living with a younger nympho a decade or so ago thinking my worst nightmare in life was getting told honey i am pregnant ! they all got told No kids before they moved in and what was i doing like a madman that causes pregnancy , yip pack your bags time babe .

Now i live my happy hermit lifestyle do what i want when i want , the only thing i miss in life is a cuddle in bed but xxxx do i love the piece and quiet
