"And Lo, There Shall Come a Comic Book Room Redo"

 

 

Yeah, It's going to be that kind of thread. I don't expect this thread to be everybody's cup of tea. What it is is a narrative of one man's journey through redoing his comic book room. The last thing I wanted to do was clutter up the "Show Us Your Comic Book Room" thread with all of the dirty details, but I thought there would be some interest in people seeing a complete overhaul of a room. Enjoy. I'll be posting here for a few days from start to finish of the redo.

Nate, go for it.

 

I'll be looking for ideas as I make over my cave.

Here's a pic of the room before the redo. The shelf unit could hold 35 short boxes. It was a great unit, but two of these, this size, right next to each other would have been too big for the space.

Hey, buddy. Happy Birthday, grats on recent news, and Andrew, I'm coming back to respond in the Hansii thread. It's been a crazy month, with kids starting back to school, 3 kids playing soccer, church kicking back up three notches, and finishing the room.

[Ogami]

 

Here's the wall of books. Note that this is now the wall with the built in desk and book case units, so the idea is similar. In the old room, it was all about functionality, so you can see I'm just using 1x6's and bricks for my shelving. Very "college dorm" meets "redneck chic".

This is a pic of one of the bedrooms in our house. When our third child came along, I lost my room. That sent me into the room in the garage.

Another angle of the room, pre-redo. The room is a 10'x11' room with concrete substrate, sheetrock walls and electrical work all complete. All that was needed was some demolition, (more on that in a minute) and lots of construction and painting, etc.

[Ogami]

 

This was the reason I lost my first man cave at our current house.

 

Am I a blessed man, or what?

The Spidey statue gives a sense of the dimensions of the room. (since then, sold)

Abbie will soon be five. The time, she be a flyin'. This is a pic of us cleaning out the room.

[Ogami]

 

Empty and clean. Good times. Note the crapp.y white fan/light.

I liked seeing the TMNT on the spinner rack. Which printing was it?

[Ringfinger]

Wow, that is a lot of stuff. Keep on posting.

Moving all of the contents of the room into the garage. Here, they will sit for three months (First week of June to last week) while I redo the room.

That's either a second or third print. I have a first print at CGC right now.

Will do. (thumbs u

Finally, a thread I'll actually enjoy reading! Thanks, and give me some good ideas for my next house.

Abbie, my little princess,

Josiah, my number one son. (best if said in Classic Chan accent)

Right on, Vaughn. I read where you said you had an entire house to yourself. Oh, the things I could do, given more space.

 

I think you'll like some of the man elements of the room.
