Guest BWCustoms Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Its sort of gun-related. My home office/workshop is finally getting a make over in a few weeks. While I am putting in the VCT flooring I want to go ahead and hit the walls with a fresh coat of paint.The VCT flooring is going to be a classic white/black checkering - what color walls should I go with?White? Or something else perhaps? <dontknow>
unforgiven Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 I like red cause it matches my eyes. <lmao>
Robocop1051 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 No paint! Diamond plate aluminum sheets! <thumbsup>
survivalshop Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 No paint , wall to wall Zombie targets .
Guest LLArms Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 So I am guessing that floral wallpaper is out?Darn... :'((I do like the diamond plate idea, but something tells me the walls would end up costing more than the floors or new benches I'm building) <laughs>
98Z5V Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 - what color walls should I go with?White? Or something else perhaps? <dontknow>FDE, man - it's the only choice.
Guest LLArms Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 I wonder how VCT will stick to dry wall.I could a crazy hippie black and white checkering from floor to ceiling! <laughs>
Guest LLArms Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 Have to post some before and after pics soon.Started renovations today. Carpet pulled out. 6 boxes of VC tile sitting on standby. Walls primed and patched for a new color.Been using a 36" x 80" solid core door setup for my main workbench. Building a 3-section workbench (so I can take it apart or move easily) to span one of the 10ft walls. Going with a 24" deep setup this time as 36" was just too much. Going to use 2x4's for the frames and solid core doors (cut to size) for the tops again.Each section will serve its own purpose; main bench, paint booth bench and reloading bench. I'm like a fat kid looking in the candy store window. :leghump:Great thing about it all is the budget. All the materials and its costing just a few hundred to completely pimp out the mancave.
Matt.Cross Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 One word for the color you need: MARPAT <munch>
Robocop1051 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 MARPAT = Vegitarian DiarrheaA-Tacs is the 2012 camo!!I still vote for...
Guest LLArms Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Gonna have to finish up tomorrow. But here are some before and during pics:Going to keep the renovated office/workshop on a more 'minimalist' theme this time. Maybe 2 or 3 of my favorite black & white photos and ditch the 'find any empty space and put a picture there' approach. :lol:Me and Mrs. LLArms need to hit up Lowes and pick out a color. :o
Robocop1051 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Argh! The organization is killing me. I want to knock all the shit off your shelves and shuffle your screwdrivers up. I'll bet you separate your metric sockets from the standard sockets too. Chaos saves your mind. The longer it takes for you to find a part, the longer you get to stay in your cave. My work bench looks like Hurricane Katrina took a dump.
Guest LLArms Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 While never officially diagnosed - if you were to accuse me of having OCD I would not deny it! <laughs>I get as dirty as the next guy, but yea - if my tools/stuff are not organized in some form or another it will drive me nuts.

Guest LLArms Posted January 29, 2012 Report Posted January 29, 2012 Still getting organized, but its pretty much about done.Now I have a bench for reloading (equipment soon), a bench for working and a bench for re-finishing. Then of course my "office" area.
Robocop1051 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Posted January 29, 2012 I'm never showing those pictures to my wife. It will destroy my excuse of, "A man cave is supposed to be messy."
Guest LLArms Posted January 30, 2012 Report Posted January 30, 2012 Well thats about it. Only thing left to do is build my new mobile paint booth for the window bench and as you can see I'm turning the closet into its own little vault.This means getting a solid core door replacement, hinges that swing out from the inside, re-enforced frame and a PIN entry door handle.Not fire proof or anything, but if a crook wants my stuff bad enough hes going to have to tear a hole in the wall and even then the guns are in another safe that is bolted to the concrete floor. lol
