Show Off Your Newly Renovated Memorabilia Rooms

[Joel_Brock]

My wife surprised me for Christmas and had our basement turned into a sports area. She hired a local company to design and build this. They built it all in 5 days while we were out of town. What a nice surprise to come home to.

That's a great present from your wife.
Congratulations!

Nice new cave, Joel! You have a keeper my friend.

My wife is too scared to touch anything in the cave... even when I ask her to grab something or hold something she says no and runs off. She can tend to be a klutz though, so it may be for the best.

Ken (earlywynn fan) how did you make the bat structure in the corner? Are the bats glued together? It looks really cool.

Everybody asks about those. It's the easiest thing in the world: just lay a bat down and lay the next one alongside with the knob overlapping. The knobs hold them together, although it's obviously not the sturdiest. The one I have pictured is a little too tall, but it works.

EVERY collector needs a room like this. Looks good, Joel. Very cool wife, indeed.

Not strictly a memorabilia room - its more like home-theater, home-bar, poker, pool hall, sports museum... but I'm squeezing in as much as I can little by little... I think if I add a piece here and there the wife won't notice like she would a huge wing being added...

Very Classy Wes...

Very nice Wes. We Californians are jealous of all the basement space you guys have.

Thanks... if its any consolation, us Kansans are jealous of all the beach front and girls in short skirts that you guys have.
