Synopsis

In each episode, Siragusa and Cameron visit a house at which the male resident wants a particular room transformed into a male-themed hobby room, otherwise known as a man cave. Each man cave is custom-designed for the recipient based on his hobbies and likes. The rooms are then renovated to include a media center, minibar, and a lounge among other elements.^[4] Previous themes included hockey, surfing, car racing, skiing, golfing, rock-n-roll, and others. During the renovation, the hosts offer ideas and do-it-yourself instruction to help homeowners construct their own personal hangouts. At the end of each episode, the newly renovated "man cave" is revealed to the recipient, who did not see the room during its transformation.^[5]
