Stan's Man cave!!

Next we'll see plumbing run, then electricity, concrete floor, then the toilet, next the reefer hook up, enclose it, run a smoke exhaust, lol........

LOL... then he'll have to move a cot out there cause Trish will get tired of him spending all his time out there!

Looking great Stand, now you'll loss that weather excuse for not smoking.

Every grown man should have a man cave. As children we built tree houses and huts, it's only natural as we get older (and have a few extra $$ in our pockets) our projects get a little bigger. Lookin Good Stan!!! Thumbs Up
 
Hey Stan, looking good,  you need to get someone with a plasma cutter to make you something like this to hang in your new man cave

Looks good Stan. How's the Mosquito's in your area? Some Screened in walls might be a nice touch if the Mosquito's are a problem. I think a close by Refer would be a good idea as well...JJ

Yeah , Roofing isn't as easy  any more
icon_exclaim.gif
 Most done , but rain and manpower halted progress . Ideas on a Exhaust welcome . I'm thinking a 4"  (square ?) stove pipe 
icon_question.gif
 Or would a 90* exhust keep rain out
icon_question.gif


What say , Kevin , or anyone

Going through 3/8" Ply and Shingles.

Thanks . . .
 
I have something similar planned for my backyard.  Simple lean-to roof using pressure-treated lumber.  I had thought about how to exhaust smoke from under the roof.  How about something like this?

It's kit for venting a bathroom fan thru the roof.  Simple and under $30 @ HomeDepot.  It's passive (no fan).  If you want a powered vent, how about one of these?

Solar power!  No wiring required.

IIRC code requires vents to be at least 2 feet down from the roof peak.  Or maybe that's just best practice...

Campsmoke , I was think a 'fart fan' would work ...

 .The stack will be about 6" from the roof ; enough to keep to heat from scortching anything .

But I.m wondering if that would help the drafting , or is more exhaust pipe needed
icon_question.gif
 lenghthing my pipe above the roof
icon_exclaim.gif
 My objective is to reduce smoke in the 'Bana' and still have good draft
