My first ever dedicated gun room is finished as of today! A little cleaning and then bring in the guns, ammo and reloading gear.

My wife and have moved from house to house about 12 times in the last 20 years and finally now, I get my own space to tinker on the guns.

Congratulations! It looks great. Post more pictures when you have your reloading set up etc in place.
 
Have fun in your new toy room.
 
Sir, that is Awesome! Congratulations on obtaining your dream. I hope your home has a grand trophy room as well!
 
Looking forward to seeing it progress.
 
Who did the electrical?
Oddly enough, I did the design and install of the electrical you can see in that photo. I added task lighting above the bench (I also made the bench) and I measured my gun racks to get lighting between them as they will be positioned in the room.

On the other side of the door is the rest of the basement (not as important as the gun room!) I designed that layout too but had my guys execute the install.

I’m a fair bit removed from working in the field these days, but still have some idea of how to do the work. I guess it’s the evolution of business that I don’t wear the tools much anymore. I have to deal with supply chain issues!

I am an electrical contractor and master electrician. Only an electrician would put an appropriate amount of receptacles above a work bench.

Enjoy YOUR space! Congrats
 
Looks great! And fyi I haven’t forgotten the fed 215’s I owe you for the bow. As soon as I’m back north I’ll deliver them.

My old man is an electrician. That man has outlets everywhere!

OP nice gun room. I’ll have one once my kids are out of the house.

Ryan, if you want 6-7 months of winter and an escape from the Texas heat, I could use another master electrician. I’m currently running numbers and ideas for opening another location.

Just putting that out there.

John.

You had me until you said winter.
 
Have a friend who took half a room, bricked up an additional inner wall with a solid vault door, and said, "now if they want my guns they'll have to wreck the house to get them...walk in gunroom bigger than any walk in closet.
 
Room looks great! I'm hoping behind that door is a vault door leading into a room that will comfortably hold 200 firearms....
Again, the space looks great!

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
