Spare bedroom. So not my head. besides I am in Florida in an area most refer to as Lower Alabama. More likely to have sinkholes or hurricanes. Although I do live where my back yard is basically Eglin Airforce Base. When the planes fly over especially during their low fly exercises I could high five the pilots from my roof. More than once I have had to pick up books from my book cases and vhs/DVDs. Once almost lost a ceiling fan from one of their sonic flights! Since then I have made sure all of these that look like they may fall, will not. Even though it is not apparent in the pictures most shelves have a lip or angle slightly back toward to wall to accommodate. Live and learn.

Popular Post BabaLament Posted February 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) We moved six months ago & I finally got around to unpacking the office/comic room! We have a *lot* more space to work with here, so I get my own private sanctuary, instead of being lumped in with the family/media room in the old house. Some of the art & books are on the wall, but not much. Some of it needs to be re-framed, as I was able to pick up a pair of original pen & ink pieces from the artists to go with the prints I had. Going to get them framed up together like the Venom & Carnage piece in front of my desk by Atom Todd. The wall with the long & short boxes is going to get custom shelving similar to what I had in the old house, but this time I’m doing full aluminum square tube frames (for strength) & building a wood box around it (for aesthetics). The wood cabinets were plenty stout, but I had to leave them behind because they were built in; I want these to be stand alone cabinets that I can take with if I move again. I’m also making the depth sufficient to fit the BCW black plastic long boxes, & height tall enough for the graded plastic boxes. Last time I had the width to fit four boxes across but it was tight. Going to give myself a little extra wiggle room this time. Also, going to limit it to three high on the long boxes to save some wear & tear on my back, and maybe I can get a little bit of countertop or display space for toys & statues. I kept the fold-down couch because naps are amazing & occasionally my better half likes to come in and work on her crochet projects while I’m working. The chair is a wonderful leather lounge chair that is horrible as a desk chair, but it’s what I have to work with right now, and is super comfortable. Updates as I get projects completed. Let me know what you think & if you have any recommendations. I have the materials in the garage to build a hutch for the desk, but I’m torn; I kind of like having the art wall instead of storage, but I have all those Aliens toys that I want to display. 🤣 As an aside, I tried to upload a panoramic photo & it didn’t take; wrong file size or something.

The frame you have of all the Carnage covers looks like , you should give it to me. LOL BabaLament 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BabaLament Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 @DINGER033That was a fun one. Michael’s framed that up & to do it right they flew their head framing guy to Texas for a week. It’s now a nationwide framing template. I keep finding ways to make life interesting for them. 😁 HighVoltage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
