Ep 13. The Cardboard Cave

In this episode of Man Caves, titled "The Cardboard Cave," the hosts Jason Cameron and Tony Siragusa help a couple create a unique and budget-friendly man cave. The husband is an avid collector of sports memorabilia, particularly baseball cards, and has been dreaming of a dedicated space where he can display his collection and watch games with friends.

However, the couple is on a tight budget, so the Man Cave team gets creative with the design. They decide to use cardboard boxes as the primary building material for the walls and other features of the room. Not only is cardboard an affordable option, but it also provides a unique and industrial aesthetic that fits well with the theme of the man cave.

The hosts start by constructing a bar out of cardboard boxes and covering it with a plywood countertop. They also make a card table with a cardboard base and a felt top. To add some color and personality to the space, they use baseball cards to create a mosaic on the ceiling.

The cardboard walls are covered with sports-themed wallpaper, and the hosts add some vintage baseball-themed artwork to the space. They also install a sound system and a large television, so the husband can watch games in style.

Throughout the episode, the hosts run into various obstacles, such as figuring out how to make the cardboard walls sturdy enough to hold shelves and memorabilia. They also encounter challenges with lighting and ventilation, but they overcome these obstacles through ingenuity and teamwork.

In the end, the couple is thrilled with their new man cave and grateful to the Man Cave team for helping them create a unique and budget-friendly space. The husband can finally display his prized sports memorabilia and watch games with friends in a stylish and comfortable environment that reflects his personality and interests.
