Thread: Shes finally given me the go ahead to put some timber in the basement...

That's right I've made a start on installing my gun room...what were you thinking?

I got the joists and a few floor boards down this morning, just wondering if anyones got any old building supplys lying around (handy to rotorua) Id be happy to pay a fair price.

I am in need of: 15sq m of gib, gib plaster, a suitable colour of interior paint, 6sq m carpet, framing timber...

Any help would be greatly appreciated, prefer to stay away from bunnings you know what they say, a low budget is a happy wife

Ill post pics along the way

Good luck with the build big_foot

Cool. A real "gunroom" is on my wants list.

I want a bigger gun room. Good luck on your build I look forward to seeing how she goes.

Sounds cool, I'm looking forward to taking over our new house as its got the perfect area for a strong room. Are you building yours to E-cat requirements as well?

Na I played it pretty cunning, had all the cleaning gear out in the middle of the lounge, giving the girls a good polishing, spilt a bit of oil.

Got the "I dont want those f**king things inside" I sez "Well its too dusty in the shed and too damp in the basement..."

Thanks to the couple of sentimental peices in my collection we come to the 'comprimise' of putting in a gun room to keep them dry...a good cabinet would have done the trick but wheres the fun in that?

Now the only challenge is bring it in on budget, so na not e-cat but it will have pretty beefy security.

What is the requirements for e-cat?

How bigs yours Toby? I'm goin for 2m wide by 2m high by 3.5m long.

I'm not sure I'd have to measure it. I would put pics on but dad went ape shit when I put pics on fb about people wanting to steal our shit.

Yeah haha fair enough I was thinking about that earlier when starting the thread- write enough to share but not enough to give anything away

New house has a 2.5x2.5 metre 'storage room'. I've already claimed it for my hunting stuff, and have spots on the walls through the house for a number of skulls. Hehehehehe

I finished my reloading room before heading out to work.
2x3.7m IIRC

Thats awsome I'm not allowed any part of the carcass inside except the edible bits.

From what I have been told 17mm ply for walls and a 6mm steel door and bars over windows if any. Quick call to your AO should have you sorted.
Good way of future proofing for endorsements and probably work out cheaper then a $1k safe.

Just a suggestion.

Did anything ever come of this? Wouldn't mind an idea or two for my own.

I'm chippin away at it over the weekends, got the floor boards down and a 3rd of the ceiling boards up, I'll post some pics at some stage.

Sounds like the project is coming along nicely big_foot
