Losing My Gun Room What To Do? HELP!!!!

I built a 40X60 Mancave. Problem solved.

Not everybody can be a green screen baller

[JW21]

you can get a climate controlled storage room at a u-haul type place for around $50 a month. maybe something cheaper closer to you?

[Coacheddy]

I keep a lot of stuff (safe, bow, storage boxes) in our bedroom. Wifey HHHHAAAATTTTTEEEESSSSS it! Reminds me regularly. I'm no help.

I think the men should have the whole house and the women should have to give up the woman cave....

Had the same issue a few months back bow case and ammo under the master bed hunting gear and clothes in the garage in rubbermaid dry boxes and all shoulder mounts in the living room. Euros have been relegated primarily to the garage

go to home depot and buy one of those wooden barns they have on display. instant shop.

worked for me.

So far I've requisitioned a hallway closet. It's packed tight. It's hard moving an entire room into a closet.

Btw you guys forgot about the new little baby part... I don't have any money to go buy an add on. Those babies are expensive! This is code name: "get by with what you got"

I'm planning a trip to the lease soon to haul some stuff to the camper.

On a serious note, good luck. There's isn't enough closet space in my whole house to fit my gun room stuff in lol. And I can't reload in a closet!!

[kumathebear]

Don't know if you have the space, but seems a good excuse for a Man Cave! Course..security for the toys would be my big concern! Good luck brother..

I recommend buying one of those heavy duty metal sheds. Put an air conditioner and mini-fridge in it, and outfit it really nice.

She should be very comfortable in there.

All the best,
Glenn

and the winner is...

Could u do something with the attic? Rock off and insulate a section. Tap into an ac line.

I only have one kid as of now so I still have my hunting room available. I'm being careful as not to lose my gun room if ya know what I mean.

Look at a Mueller DIY shed. They come in all sizes, are as permanent as you want it to be. Set it on top of some of the concrete shed blocks, and it is not a permanent structure. It can be taken down, or winched up onto a trailer to take to your next home.

Build some shelving inside to stow your gear, and set up a workbench. Run power to it and you're golden. Much cheaper than an add-on. It will pay for itself in what a few months rent would be at a storage unit.

This was my immediate thought not sure how much it would cost to build one but you can make them portable with skids and then just anchor it with trailer house anchors which can be removed later.

Well, being strapped for cash makes it tougher. Fact is, there just ain't any way to hit it with a magic wand and add 750 square feet of space to you house without spending money.

What I have, is one of those buildings they make out that stuff that is two sheets of metal with 2" of foam between it. I don't know what it is called, but it is good stuff. Holds heat real well in winter with just a small electric heater. Mine is a stand-alone 12'x16' with a workbench down one side, loading bench in the back end, shelfs down second long side. I wish I had more room, but it is enough. I(t is where I do all my gun work, load, Cerakote, household projects, whatever. Even have my bench made where I can slip different pieces of equipment (drill press, band saw, etc) in and out of a special cutout into the workbench.

One thing I like about it is that it is isolated, which is good when you are working on something detailed or tricky.

I know without money this probably doesn't help, but it's all I got. Without a budget, you just don't have many options.
