Man Cave Make Over

Thanks! Yeah, the Detolf are inexpensive, quick and easy to assemble and they look really nice.

Also, the shelf spacing is awesome for helmets or larger items!

Smitty, can you email me? I have questions about your "lockers". Wanting to do the same thing for my Matt Adams stuff. Looking for dimensions of what you had and what you have now. And where to get that Detolf. Thanks.

Never nice! Can't wait until my basement is finished so I can move my stuff into it.

'Never' Nice? I'm guessing (hoping) that was supposed to be 'Very' nice...

That said, my basement is unfinished. I just laid a cheap (FREE) piece of carpet (it's blue, would prefer Green - since it's baseball) down and lined the room with cases.

Whenever I do decide to finish the basement, it's going to be an undertaking!

I'll measure them and post that info HERE in case anyone else wants to know as well.

The 'Detolf' is an IKEA case. If you don't have an IKEA near you, you can probably order it on-line to be shipped to you.

I'll eMail to see what other questions you have.

I'm about done with the framing and electric, but debated whether or not to pull a permit. I decided it might be a smart idea, so I had to stop and now I'm waiting for the inspector so I can pick it up again.

It really is quite an undertaking if you are doing it yourself, for sure. Your's looks really nice though, so no need to rush a big and expensive project when you can spend the money on more GU stuff!

I like what that setup a lot, has museum like quality to it. With 30 bookshelves from walmart I think I might try and mimic it!

Quick note - if anyone is interested - about the Bat/Ball cases in the photos.

They came from Michaels - $59.99, but almost always 40% off, so really $35.99, but I always wait to buy until they have a 25% off all shadow boxes (including sale items) which brings them down to like $26.99 each.

But, be warned their are TWO different types - one that has the bat rack pieces permanently attached so you can't reconfigure and one that has removable bat rack pieces so you can go Vertical or Horizontal.

Easiest way to tell is the tag on the back. In the coding there is a four digit code - 2010, 2011, 2012 or 2013.

2010 and 2011 are FIXED bat rack that can not be reconfigured.

2012 and 2013 are interchangeable bat racks that can be set to Vertical or Horizontal.

Hope this information is to use for some of you!
