    Re: Show Off Your Nelwy Renovated Memorabilia Rooms

    I took Rob Steinmetz's idea and my Ozzie Smith bromance and turned it into this. Still need to add the sliding glass and arrange it a little better. Will be buying slatwall banjo holders to display the bats better and then need some other slatwall hardware to space everything out. I have had this idea for over ten years and didn't know exactly how I wanted it to look until I saw Rob's display. Thanks Rob.

        Are you worried about the lighting inside your display? I have read and heard that lighting may fade signatures, and it ages and breaks down fabric. Just curious. Love your display though, looks great!

          I finished my 3 ceiling racks. I now have all 430 bats displayed with room for about 30 more. Once the last rack if full I will have about 111 on my ceiling. My brother and I did have a "cave-in" during construction. I took a few off the dome but my scunion was fine. I did, however, get a nasty knot on my shin. We wore helmets when loading bats after that and were a bit wiser about the flexibility of metal brackets.

              Just finished moving things around so this should be permanent, but I'm always changing.

                  My family is in construction and has remodeled banks so we always pull the doors out and put them in our house with concrete. Right now we have some wine, guns, and some of my stuff in there. Someday I would really like to get one of those old fashion huge round vault doors, you know the ones you see from the 20s in big city banks. They are a pain to put in though. I'll upload a few more pictures later this week.

                            ivo,

                            That's unbelievable! Would love to hear a little bit about the process that it took to install that in your home. How much does that thing weigh?
