So check this out.
I have my own space to do whatever I want with.
I’ve chosen to make a dedicated gun/reloading/hang out space.
So, I’m going to be looking for ideas on making this space the best darn man cave that can be made by humans.
A little about the room:
No children in house, but room has a steel exterior style door with a locking knob, just in case nieces and nephews do visit.
Sits over the garage, so I assume hot in summer and cold in winter. (These last few weeks, in the bitter cold, the room is definitely colder than the rest of the house, but not so cold that it is uncomfortable. Today the temp was a balmy 34° and the difference between the room and the rest of the house was barely noticeable.)
Floor is carpet... ick.
Room was used as a kennel for Fi-fi the Pomeranian... double ick.
Didn’t notice the smell before, but the more time I spend up there the more I can smell the dog urine. Yeah, eff that.
Has a ton of outlets.
Has a pretty sweet closet going down over half the length on the East side.
Measures:
25’8” N to S
10’4” E to W
So, moving forward, I’m going to be replacing the flooring, building a reloading/work bench, adding in a display/organizing rack for guns and ammo, and putting in a couch or something for a “hang out” area.
My question to youse guys, what would you ideally put in to this?
Flooring?
Bench design?
Rack system?
Anything else I missed?
I’ve got a few ideas but I really want to get this as right as I can.
