It's still a work-in-progress as far as getting my trophies in here but it is a relief to have my reloading equipment in it's own area and out of the house.

Very nice set up! Love the tongue and groove walls/ceiling!
 
Very nice - Got to feel good to get your own space!
 
Thanks! I have an unfinished area over my barn...
 
It looks very nice. You will wish the walls were taller I am sure. Love the wood.

Looks great there rob
Once the really good big stuff is in there its gonna be great
 
This looks really great. Do you have any kind of UV protection on the windows? You may want to consider moving your sable above the windows to protect it better.
 
That’s a killer reloading room setup. Very nice!
 
That is a very nice space to call your own. Given that you have a safe up there, I hope you reinforced the floor in that area. I agree that taller walls would have been better, but we all have to accept what space our better halves are willing to give us, and then deal with it.
 
Very very nice. If that was my place I’d only come out to eat and sleep!
 
Thanks all! I really liked my design of an open ceiling. Each end of the room has walls that extend up to the ceiling where I can put the big stuff. The entire floor was overbuilt so I could put the safe anywhere I wanted. Good to know about the UV protection. I hadn't thought about that.
 
Whats that thing to the right of the safe?
 
Nice work, good job getting that safe up there.
 
Looks very neat and grant sure you will enjoy the area.
 
Very nice!

I have to ask... how did you get that massive safe up there :o
 
The builders lifted it up through the front window before it was closed up using a small crane and then slid it across the floor using protective pads. But there is a YouTube video of two guys taking one up stairs just using a hand dolly!

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.

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]
