The room is about 13X7 and should be more than enough room for me to store my guns and reload. First thing I did was have the cement walls sprayed with foam insulation. Then sheet rocked. The walls are 12 inches thick! I found that out when I decided to cut a hole in the wall in order to bring a vent in to help with heating and cooling. I also installed an electric heater in case that wasn’t enough during the winter months. The floors are next and then ill build my work bench and my reloading table. After that all that will be left is making it look purty… Ill post a couple pics of what I have so far.. Cheers

Hole in wall lol

Humidity seems to be undercontrol.

Temporarily put some of my rifles up just to get a feel for it. I have allot of idea's for the walls and how I’ll be displaying my guns. It will deffenitely look allot better than this.
I'm like a kid in a playground in here lol

My Marlin 336BL has been flawless. I must have missed those negative reviews.

Thanks! Still have some work I want to do. Hopefully I’ll get it done after the holidays

Thanks Tom! I’ll be in Florida on the 31st for the holidays. I have a place in Marathon ( the keys). I’ve been trying hard to buy a gun for home-defence with no luck. Everyone tells me that I have to be a permanent resident or a citizen of the US. I don’t get it, I always thought that the constitution applies to anyone on US soil, citizen or not. Anyway, I may have found a way around this. I was told by my local gun shop in the keys that If I were to get an “A” number they would sell me one and even give me the course for a CCW : ) I’m going to try and figure out how to go about getting this when I’m down there next week. Happy holidays! Hopefully we’ll bump into each other lol small world never know(wishful thinking)
