AndersNew trophy room - New update
Okey, just to add some pressure on my self to finish my trophy room I decided to put out some photos.
Mye new trophy room is finished on the outside, and the work inside have just started. Within a couple of months I hope to be able to hang mounts.
It's just a bit under 70 square meters, with ceilings at 5,3 m. Sidewalls at 3,3 m.

wyoskeLike what I see so far, congrats.

SevensLooks like it's going to be a nice place. Are you going to cover the walls in plywood so you don't have to worry about finding a stud?

Thanks!
Yes, guess it will be enough for most mounts. Maybe I need to find a stud for large, heavy mounts. Using 3/4 plywood or similar material.
Will start insulating this evening!

ldeThe inside pics of your room sure look bigger than the outside would allow.
Your room looks like it will hold quite a few mounts. How many do you have now?
16 October 2010, 13:06
AndersI don't have a lot of mounts so far. 6 fullmounts (pygmy antelopes), appr. 20 shoulder mounts of various size and some euro mounts, skulls and flatskins.
Think I'll be ok for a while space wise.

PalmerNice start Anders. It looks very strong.
I wish our lumber looked as good as that in your trophy room.
What is your roof material? Is it metal?

1/2 slamI am really looking forward to seeing this room when it's finished.
Hunting is not a matter of life or death....It's much more important

Mr. GYou're going too slow Anders.....should be finished by now. I bet those guys working for you are under paid

Yeah right. This didn't actually work. But I've been able to have som progress.
A couple of pics on recent situation. The roof is finished. All electrical work is done. And the walls are almost covered with wood. Will add sheetrock to get a smooth surface.
My first post was in Oct., but now I really hope to be able to hang mounts within a couple of months..

AndersThanks guys! Managed to finish the last wall this weekend. And then Mr. G brought his chainsaw and cut through the wall and into my living room.
I had just cleaned my house, but Mr. G quickly managed to fill it with saw dust

Mr. GThere is nothing like the smell of a chainsaw!

jjbull"Will add sheetrock to get a smooth surface."
Please tell me this is a typo and you are
not covering up all that beautiful wood.
Thanks for letting me feel like a part of your construction process.

AndersNo, sorry, no typo
The wood might look ok, but it's just very cheap wood I put up to be able to hang mounts everywhere.

Hallgeir GravrokVery nice Anders, I built mine to small I see now.
I had too put 2 goldmedal reindeertrophies at the barn, because of to litle space.
Is it concrete all over the floor, and heating in the floor?
Looking forward to see it finished with all the trophies on the wall and floor
The center post may be in the way but when are you getting a full mount elephant ??

Hadn't thought of that! Shit!
The floor is wood (plywood). There will be a "plastic" floor. Don't know what it's called in english. No heating in the floor.
Heating will be done with a heat pump, that also can adjust humidity.
Finished covering the walls with sheetrock. I'm getting close to hanging mounts now.

STUBBERUDVery nice! Soon there! Looking forward to see the final result!

So Anders, you put the wood covering behind the sheet rock to be able to securely fasten screws where ever you want??
Looks really nice. What are you going to do to the sheet rock?? Wall paper or just paint?

Thanks Mike!
Yes, the wood is just for beeing able to hang mounts where ever I want, not needing to look for a stud.
At the moment we're putting spatula (is that what it's called?) between the junctures. Will paint directly on the sheetrock.
Makes it easier to fix holes from screws than if I use wall paper. Of course it's is more fragile than if I use wall paper, but this room will not be for big parties or soccer anyway
Here's a couple of updates:

AndersThe project is really taking time. I have to much other stuff to do
Finished painting last weekend. Spray painted. It took only 2-3 hours of work to finish up with two layers.
Here's some mounts eager to roam more freely!

cameronaussieDear Anders
Man those small one's are killing me.
You have a great collection.
If I ever get to Norway i would like to look at your room.

Sweet RiverYour room is really starting to take shape. Can't wait to see the finished product and the rest of your trophies.
