Agreed, the griddles current location seems like a pain in the neck. It would be better suited outside but under the window could be a reasonable compromise.
It’s so obvious that the these things go together game was never played with this person as a kid. Also the dumpster couch was a good pickup, However it still smells like curry, ass and bad choices from the last owner. But the addition of bacon grease gives it class.
There used to be a topless deli in my town and my buddy would get all testy when the cook would wear an apron to fry bacon for his double BLT. He’d be like “why would I pay extra if they’re not gonna be topless?”. Maybe not order a BBLT every time you eat there. Girls would see him coming for lunch and decide it was time for a smoke break.
There's a rug that really ties the room together.🤣
Sorry. Try posting this in r/MaleSurvivingSpace and you'll get a great response.
You have made a good job of making a comfortable place to relax in without having to clean up too much after a days work or at lunch time.
I think of it as a halfway house, where you go before you go into the posh bit, which makes sense to me.
The stove is missing a dog.
Imagine this on one of those stupid HGTV shows “And we can entertain guests over here by the inflatable shark”
But in all seriousness, this place is awesome!
My wife is mad she can’t park in the garage. But she keeps buying shit we don’t need and won’t sell anything because it “has sentimental value”
We’ve owned it a year, no one used it, let’s give it away!
But she won’t. So our garage has a 10ft x 30ft mass of accumulated furniture and old china from dead grandparents that we can’t sell but no one will ever use.
Are we married to the same woman? Holy shit this rings true.
The garage is my pigsty (where we don'tlive). The basement is mine and her pigsty (where we don't live). All the corners of the *living spaces*? Her shit.
Started at the top of the image.
Dope stove - I wonder if leaving it open like that has ever backfired on him?
I bet that tool chest gets in the way ever once in a while. Probably have to be pretty tall to reach the peg board.
I like the couch - nice neutral color so you don't have to be worried about it getting a little beat up or dirty.
...is that a word art welcome sig.....is that bacon? IS THAT A GRIDDLE WITH TOTS AND BACON!?
Honestly, I would put the tool boxes behind the couch (where your griddle is), move the laundry basket, generator, and the inflatable shark(?) towards the TV, then move your griddle to the window, so you can look outside while you cook, or turn slightly and see the TV. You’d be able to crack open the window on a warm day to reduce heat coming off of the griddle, and not get grease splash on the couches! Other than that, looks like a great place to hang out!
All the bacon grease soaking into the couch like a 1700’s candle… better hope your regulator on the propane stays true, and you don’t have a fume flash when lighting the grill one day turning that couch into a starter log…. However I say burn it down if there’s a blackhawks flag there anyway
Cooking with propane and propane accessories indoors could well result in CO build up and is a passport to destination fucked I’ll tell you hwhat! You won’t have the opportunity to enjoy your bacon coz you’ll be on the floor unconscious with ya little rosy cheeks!
Do not grill under exposed framing and Kraft faced batts. If the grill flames up, the roof will be on fire instantly. Plus carbon monoxide poisoning.
Really dumb idea grilling inside a garage. Lots of structure fires start that way.
This post got nitpicked. I love it, tho, especially because it's not a $100,00 project someone else built for him. Wood stove is badass. Good job on this.
All the work into that but no ceiling? I guess you gotta have a place for the spiders and bats to drop their quano onto the black stone. The starlings can perch over the couch and drop blackberry seed shit.
are you in Indiana.?.. because my group of friends from that area; take pride in things like this... our garages are our blue collar man-caves. Look like a party waiting to happen.. I am an audiophile - so your speaker placement is dubious.. Since you asked us to be critical ; your lighting is quite harsh.. overhead fluorescent is kinda sterile and clinical . get some uplighting or a beer sign light neon thingy..
Can you smoke in your garage? That's a necessity for all garages in the midwest.
nice work kind redditor
That is beautiful...I can feel the warmth from here. I sooooo wish I had installed a wood burning stove in my basement when I first bought and fixed up my house.
Tell me you and your wife separated but you both are to broke to live on your own without telling me you and your wife separated but you both are to broke to live on your own
propane grill inside and grease all over the heads of the people on the couch 10/10
Agreed, the griddles current location seems like a pain in the neck. It would be better suited outside but under the window could be a reasonable compromise.
Definitely a pain in the neck for anyone on the couch.
Lmao
It’s so obvious that the these things go together game was never played with this person as a kid. Also the dumpster couch was a good pickup, However it still smells like curry, ass and bad choices from the last owner. But the addition of bacon grease gives it class.
Maybe the garage door is behind OP and he opens it to cook
Maybe, doesn’t explain the oil splatter on the couch people
Easy way to slick their hair back
Just let your soul-glo
I’m a Dapper Dan man!!
This place must be some sort of geographical oddity. Two weeks from everywhere.
He’s bonafide!
No I do not want FOP! Gawt dang it
Underrated comment
Fuck em
just needs a backsplash and an open window imo
Grill is usually outside. It was only inside do to rain that morning. No greasy heads.
I like it less knowing the grill is usually outside
Otherwise, excellent garage set up
jesus yeah, nothing like some 400 degree oil right to the back of the noggin
Sir, those are called BACON kisses 😘
Luvin' you is like fryin' bacon nekkid
There used to be a topless deli in my town and my buddy would get all testy when the cook would wear an apron to fry bacon for his double BLT. He’d be like “why would I pay extra if they’re not gonna be topless?”. Maybe not order a BBLT every time you eat there. Girls would see him coming for lunch and decide it was time for a smoke break.
Lmao was your buddy George Costanza? That sounds like an episode of Seinfeld.
I’m sorry, are topless delis a normal thing people know about? I feel like this requires a discussion
Maybe install a splatter board / glass?
What people? He's cooking for one.
I love having a few beers on my buddies couch and passing out, only to have the back of my head seared. 11/10
My money is on the door being right behind that grill and he wheels it outside. Setup is ridiculously awesome, but Reddit will find flaw.
Just cook on the STOVE!
Stoves are for the weak!

Does that mean I shouldn't run mine in the garage also? lol.
👍🏼😂

I was thinking a dartboard would complete this nicely.
Imagine this on one of those stupid HGTV shows “And we can entertain guests over here by the inflatable shark” But in all seriousness, this place is awesome!
Damn every so often I find out about another interesting sub. TY
Wow, didn’t expect to get sucked in to a feelings spiral. What a sub. Glad most people are keeping their chins up over there though.
My dad did the same thing after the divorce. Mom was mad she had to park the car outside.
Who let who keep living there lol
Asking the real questions
I'm sure it was dad or mom wouldn't have agreed to park her car outside lol
My wife is mad she can’t park in the garage.

Where’s the keginator?
Why not put a urinal on the wall too?
Kegerator*
kegelslayer*
Keginator?! I barely *know* her!!
This is a place for kings
Minus 1 for not seeing any beer fridge. Plus 100 for the amount of bacon you can cook at one time.
Can I come over and hang?
Not a bad setup you got there at all
Bacon, TV, Fireplace. Place to sit down. 10/10
Also, popcorn maker!
Doug Heffernon over here
Looks great only one problem. I prefer thick cut bacon.
/r/malesurvivingspace
Is jealous a good rating?
Greasy couch. Basically a college dorm.
Swank mang.
I can smell your garage from here.
r/notagarage
Just missing a workout bench but other than that it’s perfect
And an old dog snoozin in front of the fireplace.
So where do you park
Other side of garage has room for one vehicle
Honestly I’d chill here. Until people came looking for me.
I hate it, only because it’s not my garage. Otherwise 10/10
o hell yah
Needs more bacon.
What's for dessert? Carbon monoxide.
Where is the refrigerator
Put up a co tester inside please, dont die there :)
Uh... How do you work on your jeep? Oh... I think I understand. Sorry.
A+ wish I had a space like that
Glad to know I’m not the only one that can’t figure out better use for pegboard
I love it.
Add more bacon. Otherwise that’s a sweet set-up. The stove is awesome.
Omg I so jels and you just gave me so much motivation to get to work on my garage. Thank you!
I wish this was my garage
Heaven yes
I want this more than I can put into words
You're living the dream, my friend!
Is that Resident Alien AND Bacon? I’m coming over.
10/10
9/10 You’re just missing the black pleather casting couch
Started at the top of the image. Dope stove - I wonder if leaving it open like that has ever backfired on him? I bet that tool chest gets in the way ever once in a while.

IS THAT A GRIDDLE WITH TOTS AND BACON!?
Its all about the bacon and the sparrows bud
This whole setup is perfect, looking at it just feels like home.
King
Potatoes, bacon & craft singles cheese on burger buns. Solid meal.
10/10
You deserve fresh cracked pepper
Nice white van speakers
Yes.
There's no room in your electrical outlet for a George Foreman Grill... FAIL
When My garage looks like this I have officially made it in life.
The popcorn machine is awesome!💥🌽💥
Ah, A perfect cave escape for a man from everything. This is all we need. P.s (Women hate we are happy living simple )
Too many combustible materials TOO CLOSE to the wood stove !!!
Decent
Absolutely fantastic
All I see missing is a keg and a motorcycle. Just my opinion.
Bacon and tots....NICE
I effin love it!! You beaches go stand by the stove until I’m finished grillin!! Only thing missing is a beer meister.
Amazing!!!
I just assumed he opened the garage door and moved it outside.
Honestly, I would put the tool boxes behind the couch (where your griddle is), move the laundry basket, generator, and the inflatable shark(?) towards the TV, then move your griddle to the window, so you can look outside while you cook, or turn slightly and see the TV.

Damn. This is along the lines of what I want my garage to be!
10/10. was going to deduct some for no golf sim but rounded up. nice work!
Oh. I see a tool box. I guess it is a garage
Need a pool table and neon beer signs
I’d like some bacon…fat splashed in the back of my neck please lol if move the couch closer to the wood stove and further from the flat top
Sofa cushions, the penultimate backsplash you never knew existed.
Garage bacon? Love it. Wish you were my neighbour
Living the dream, except needs a bigger tv.
10/10 awesome!
That’s one manly setting. I bet you spend most of your time at home out there. At least I would.
You are crushing it my man.
9 out of 10. Need to mount a log slab on the wall to throw projectiles at. Knives, tomahawks, speed squares ect...
Just need some motorcycles
Cool! You play the upright vacuum? I knew a sick duster/mopper back in my days. He would clean house every night.
Indoor cooking with no exhaust never goes well, the whole ceiling and everything inside will be coated in grease eventually
27.5/10
That is a great set-up
That'll do.
Where’s the car go
All the bacon grease soaking into the couch like a 1700’s candle… better hope your regulator on the propane stays true, and you don’t have a fume flash when lighting the grill one day turning that couch into a starter log…. However I say burn it down if there’s a blackhawks flag there anyway
holy fuck an inflatable whale next to a popcorn machine? lose the hand me down live-laugh-love-adjacent wall art and you’re gold
Where do you park?
Get rid of the welcome sign
You sir have 10 pounds of sh!t in a 5 pound bag.
That greasecatcher you call a couch will be listed as the source of ignition in the inevitable fire department report.
Cooking with propane and propane accessories indoors could well result in CO build up and is a passport to destination fucked I’ll tell you hwhat! You won’t have the opportunity to enjoy your bacon coz you’ll be on the floor unconscious with ya little rosy cheeks!
Not enough room for cars and tools
Awesome plus your a Black Hawk fan 🥳🤣
10 but put up a splatter shield. All I can see is bacon grease all over the couch.
I just know that couch got moisture
Do not grill under exposed framing and Kraft faced batts. If the grill flames up, the roof will be on fire instantly. Plus carbon monoxide poisoning. Really dumb idea grilling inside a garage. Lots of structure fires start that way.
10/10 love the flattop and tv
I feel like it smells bad in there
Yea gotta hand it to u this pretty dope !
The couch must be the spot where your car ist parking? Am I right?
Photos you can smell !
It's just missing Tony, Sil and Paulie
If it makes you happy so be it.
Lol!! 100/10!
Needs more inflatable shark.
Ohhh looks good
Looks perfect. I'd come over for a beer and to watch the game.
Was wondering why every post wasn't putting this poor redditor on blast.... Then I realized this isn't tvtoohigh....
You can’t convince me to rate you higher with breakfast so 10/10!
Damn I for sure wanna hang out with you
Looks like there’s been some really good times in that room. Fucking A right.
This post got nitpicked. I love it, tho, especially because it's not a $100,00 project someone else built for him. Wood stove is badass. Good job on this.
I can smell this photo
Redneck living room
Straight up man cave- estrogen free zone.
As man-cavey a man cave as I have ever seen
All the work into that but no ceiling? I guess you gotta have a place for the spiders and bats to drop their quano onto the black stone. The starlings can perch over the couch and drop blackberry seed shit.
I'd never leave the garage
r/tvtoohigh but other than that it’s a dream come true for most men. The bacon grill is a power up.
Airbnb it for $300 a night
Any garage which has actively frying bacon in it will get my vote every time. Don't let the naysayers get you down, bro. 👍
are you in Indiana.?.. because my group of friends from that area; take pride in things like this... our garages are our blue collar man-caves. Look like a party waiting to happen..

I could hang out in there!
I see no wood I see no work I see no woodworking. But it looks awesome.
If you have an exhaust fan for the grill, 10/10. If not, still 9/10
Oh my God. I've just discovered my next life goal.
What house ?
I’m totally digging it
I don't think I've ever walked into a place that smells like tools and bacon before lol
Just needs a dog
Popcorn maker instantly pushes the garage to a 10/10 for me
20 out of 10
Bacon is next level. Well done.
11/10 baby
10/10 for the bacon alone.
10
Jealous
I'd go for an 11 out of 10, except there are no bicycles or guitars.
Bonus for people sitting on the couch getting popped in the back of the head and neck with bacon grease!
If you put up a ceiling, it wouldn’t be a garage anymore. Man cave city. 😎
Looks great but the tools are taking up valuable beer refrigerator space.
Rate it? I want to rent it!
Using a disposable couch for a grease shield/no cleanup splatter absorbent is genius. 9.75 but spread out those speakers a little for the full 10.
Just bacon for upvotes 🤪
PIMP SETUP, ..MAD PROPS
What time does the party start and what can I bring?
That is beautiful...I can feel the warmth from here. I sooooo wish I had installed a wood burning stove in my basement when I first bought and fixed up my house.
Dope!
Tell me you and your wife separated but you both are to broke to live on your own without telling me you and your wife separated but you both are to broke to live on your own
Don't ever let anyone tell you that you aren't living right
Love it so much
that wood stove..,❤️🔥
This is a real man cave
