Trophy room progress

[Tim Blackwell]

Glad you ran the wood on the angle. Looks sharp.

Shamelessly copied off a friend, but yeah I like it

 

[Tim Blackwell]

Paint on the walls, a couple left to go, then final electrical. Hopefully be hanging heads next week!!

 

[Cam Moon]

I'm getting excited for you!
I was surprised to see the beams covered and prepped for painting though. I thought they were going to be stained to go well with your wood feature wall.

Thanks Cam
Bit of a story behind that. They are laminated LVL beams so not the prettiest thing. Unfortunately due to delays, they sat in the weather for a few years and were in pretty rough shape, 2 needed to be replaced altogether, and we were lucky to find them with current material shortages.

So long story short, they were mismatched and weathered. Filling, sanding and painting was the only really viable option unfortunately!

I would have loved hardwood, but I got an African hunt to pay for

It's looking good anyway!

Thank you. It'll look a whole lot better in a week. There's 30-something heads to hang, and the boys started construction on the bar today

I'm glad to know you have your priorities straight! When you get it all done, post a picture with your favorite beverage and I'll raise my glass to toast you. It is really looking sharp.

Thank you, I sure will. There will be more than a couple consumed in there once it's done

 

[Hunt anything]

Can’t wait to see the finished product!

Man, I envy you. Land is very expensive here. Your trophy room could be someone's apartment over here.

Very nice to watch the progress. Excited for when the trophies get installed.

 

[Tim Blackwell]

Well it's started....

What better way to start the Australian wall...

...and the first African wall?

 

[Jörg Krüger]

Just looking awesome. Happy for you!!

 

[Tintin]

Nice Tim - well done!

 

[DieJager]

Beautiful

 

[Tim Blackwell]

The blank canvas...

 

[shotgungibbs]

It is looking great! Just a thought, maybe consider painting the beams a nice masculine color. Something like a hunter green, to add color to the room, and it would add contrast against the "wood wall" as well. Can't wait to continue seeing your room progress.

 

[Beck]

I am getting jealous!

 

[Tim Blackwell]

Well finally folks they are all up!

It's finished barring the floor coverings and A/C which will come later in the year. I still have about 8 or 10 trophies to get mounted when I get the chance.

I look forward to many cold ones in here reliving great memories with friends!

Thanks to those who've followed along.
