If you're absolutely at your wit's end for what to do with that extra room in your house, may we offer a suggestion? Providing your man-cave is dialed, the garage is updated and organized, and your wife's honey-do list is completed, we think you should consider a home climbing gym --aka. a woody.

That's what newlywed couple Tim and Steph Wilocki were thinking before they even reached their first anniversary, and what they did with their 600-square-foot, 12-foot-tall garage attic takes home gyms to the next level.

According to the Climbing.com report, they started building the gym before they bought furniture for the house "because, of course, climbing is way more important than having something to sit on!"

They finished their woody last winter, and we can only hope the man-cave is next on the honey-do list. May we offer a suggestion?
