I spent $40 on tickets and won the signed Monahan jersey last year.
Was super excited and even bought a jersey frame for it.
Thought it was the best money I ever spent. Then, the downhill spiral...

My wife wouldn't let me put the frame in the living room, kitchen, or upstairs in any bedroom. The basement was bare bones. Framed and insulated. So I decided make a man cave/kids room, knowing she couldn't say no to me hanging it down there. First though, I had to drywall, tape, mud, sand, paint, carpet, and put in baseboard and window trim. It's taken almost a full year, and is still a work in progress, but the frame was on the wall as soon as soon as the paint dried.

tl;dr: The kids now have a basement play room because I won this jersey last year and I'm super stoked about it especially since it's the first thing ya see when you walk downstairs

Thanks Kaon for sharing these with us and good luck to all who enter!!
