Magnum Im sorry but I don't have any way of putting it on here. In all honesty Ive always build from my mind if that makes any sence. Twenty five years ago I told my wife I was going to build a new house , She watched and laughed as I cut trees and dug there stumps out by hand. Then I went and bought a woods north of my place and logged it then sawed all my lumber on the sawmill I have. After I poured the foundation she started to believe me. After 263 logs sawed into 2x8 , 2x12's and 2x6's we have a new home. I drove 200 pounds of 60 penny spikes, it was a adventure at the time but now I'm not sure if I could do it all again. But I think I would be up to a new trophy room. After 270 lookers I was wondering about these guys What know ideas. Thanks for your interest | ||

If you were going to do it all over again what would you build different ? I have 22 foot ceilings all glass at one end and my mounts hang on 4x6 timbers that hold the different panels of glass. Ive been thinking of building a 24x24 addition on the east side. My roof has a 14 /12 pitch my idea was to put the same 14/12 towards the road to balance the look out but put a longer slop to the south with maybe glass french doors or something like that. Then on the east end {peak end ] maybe a [this may sound crazy ] take chicken wire and make a shape like a mountain then cover it with paper mashay. With places to set mounts on. Or lay stone up and put in a wood pellet stove and hang stuff on that wall. Also I was thinking about using those new kinds of styoform forms where you inter lock them and you pour cement in the center maying a excellent construction. My side walls on the house are six feet tall, on the north wall my thoughs were to come in six or so feet and pour another 10 /12 foot high wall. This way I could put a vault type door on this 6 foot by 24 foot room to store guns maybe even use it for a storm shelter. This would give me another 12 high by 24 foot wall to put mounts on. This idea Ive had for awhile and probably won't move forward till next spring because I have a number of trees that I will have to remove and the way this summer is shaping up its never going to dry up enough to get equipment in there. So for the fun of it what ideas could you add or remove, like I said this is in the planning stages. Bill | |||

Remember with all that glass to use window tinting to cut out the U.V. and slow down fading of your mounts. | |||
