Ep 2. Wall Street Cave

In Man Caves season 7 episode 2, titled Wall Street Cave, co-hosts Tony Siragusa and Jason Cameron help out a New York City stock trader transform his empty basement into the ultimate man cave.

The episode begins with the homeowner, Brad, giving a tour of his unfinished basement space, which he hopes to turn into a luxurious home bar and entertainment center. The space is currently used for laundry and storage, but Brad wants to create an escape from his stressful job on Wall Street.

Tony and Jason quickly get to work on designing the perfect man cave for Brad. The space is large, with high ceilings and plenty of potential, but it's also unfinished and in need of a lot of work. The duo starts by framing out the entire space, including a custom bar area, a hidden storage room, and a high-top table for dining and games.

One of the biggest challenges is dealing with the exposed pipes and beams that run throughout the basement. Jason comes up with a creative solution by covering them with reclaimed wood and creating a rustic, industrial look that fits perfectly with Brad's style. They also add a large custom mural to one wall, depicting a sweeping view of New York City.

The centerpiece of the man cave is undoubtedly the custom bar area that Tony and Jason build. Brad is a craft beer enthusiast, so they include multiple beer taps and a kegerator, as well as plenty of storage for glasses, bottles, and other bar essentials. The bar top is made from a stunning piece of raw-edge wood, and the backsplash features custom tile work with Brad's initials.

Other features of the man cave include a comfortable seating area with a large sectional sofa and a custom-built entertainment center with a huge flat-screen TV and surround sound speakers. Tony and Jason also install custom lighting fixtures throughout the space, including unique pendant lights over the bar and a dramatic chandelier in the seating area.

As they work on the man cave, Tony and Jason also take the time to get to know Brad and his family. They learn about his career on Wall Street and the stress that comes with it, and they're inspired to create a space that will help him relax and recharge at the end of a long day. Brad's wife and kids also get excited about the man cave and help with some of the finishing touches, like hanging artwork and adding decorations.

In the end, Brad is blown away by the transformation of his basement into the ultimate man cave. Tony and Jason have created a space that's perfect for entertaining friends and family, but also for Brad to unwind and escape from the pressures of his job. The Wall Street Cave is a true masterpiece, and a testament to the skill and creativity of the Man Caves hosts.
