I have needed to build a trophy room for awhile with all the ones I have stacked in a corner of the shed.
I took a week off and a mate and I built it to save some coin.

Decided to close in 1/2 of under my house and turn it into a trophy room/man cave.

A major concern was that in the big floods water will got through this room so we built it like a big bathroom.
It is 6.5m x 6.5m square and the whole slab has 20mm of fall to the centre where there is a 100mm waste pipe that drains down the back yard.
The sheeting inside is 18mm marine ply and the bottom sheets of "Prime line" are removable to dry the walls out if needed.
If we do get another big flood I will carry the trophies up stairs.

Still a couple of things to do like build my bar (got the local saw mill dude to cut me a slab @ 2.4m long and 1m wide). Putting a pool table in and a big screen tv.

A few more animals to hang when they get here like my Sambar, Red stag, Banteng and another Buff.

Here is a few photo's of the build as we went.

Hired a mini digger from Roma to do the earth works (good fun).

The hard bit was two of us wheeling 25 tons of cement under the house.

The start of construction.

Built "Bulk heads" to cover up the I beams.

Insulated the walls.

Sound proofed the roof.

Threw up the marine ply and I was ready for a beer at this stage.

After painting the roof , cement floor and staining the walls it was time to hang the trophies.

View as you walk in the front door.

African wall.

Australian and NZ walls.

The electrician is coming Thursday to finish up and give me some lights and power.

Thanks for looking and hope it inspires someone to have a go at a trophy room themselves.
Have a great year.

Cheers Neale.
