    Toy room slowly coming together.

    Lost my office 3 years ago with the birth of my second daughter.

    I have been slowly building out a room in the attic. Have a stand up space above the dining room (11x12) which is accessed through the pull down stairs and attic above the garage. Sheet rock is up, finished and painted. Carpet down. HVAC is installed and working. Temp lighting and power hooked up. Surround Sound and 12" TV hooked up. Building shelves and hanging pictures.

    All I need is a couple of longe chairs and load up my toys!

    Its hard to get to... but soon my sanctuary!

    Pics soon.

    Congrats.
    I'd Love to see the Pix when it's finished.

    My loft isn't quite big enough to stand up in.

      Space to the right above the Garage. Ignore the Green Mildew and dirt on the walls. We are under water restrictions and I can't afford to pay a professional to pressure wash the house. (I can't do it myself since I am not a business and that would be excess personal use of water!)

      Access past the junk in the attic (see new door!)

      New window cut into wall. Hopefully someday I will replace the Battlestar Galactica poster with a Flat Screen TV.

                    I have some before pics that I hope I didn't loose last year in my OS/Harddrive crash. Have to dig through my old disks!

                    Yours is looking good. I have mostly diecast cars and a few older Action figs to go on display. Just a few MEGO's and EMCE Trek to display.

                      Nice...only thing you may want to do is climate control in those attic spaces. Heat affects toys in adverse ways. Good luck with those rooms.
                      "When not too many people can see we're all the same
                      And because of all their tears,
                      Their eyes can't hope to see
                      The beauty that surrounds them
                      Isn't it a pity".

                        Good Point.

                        It about killed me but I managed to get a supply and return line from my system to the room. The slope of the roof faces west and really picks up the afternoon heat. Hopefully I have enough AC feeding the room. If not I plan on upgrading the system size in a couple of years when I replace it!

                        Look to the lower left of the last picture under the Star Wars Poster by the shelves!

                            OMG those rooms are so cool, all that space...you'll need more Mego's

                            Action-Burt i love those Action-Men very, very cool.

                            Toystalker yeah I loved the Space Commander and bought him a few years ago, but the Rubber Suit is starting to perish. Still looks good though.

                              Your Action Man / GI Joe display looks awesome. Looking forward to more pics.
