Here's one part of my well-organized pole barn... ... and here's another... ... and yet another... ... yet another... BrotherBart says I have too much stuff. I disagree. I have almost enough stuff. But I seriously lack a curator to keep it all organized for me.

Here's mine. I have owned it for 5 years and have lived in it a grand total of 5 months. Come retirement next year it will be dressed as needed.

I cringe at the words 'man cave'. Sweet Jesus, no wonder it's so easy for the government. Yep, just another metrosexual term...
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Not a man cave per se but a damn fine place up the holler from the house to relax, watch nature or enjoy a book. It was built by an elderly attorney from Germany who would fly over here just to relax in that shack and drink wine. You can see the wine bottles built into the wall if you look closely. Even made a little 'shine in there a time or two.

Doc; Top of the morning to you sir, I hope the week has been treating you well. I'd say that based upon a couple decades of being a semiprofessional "organizer" in production shops that you need more shelving, pegboard and hooks and then a wee bit of an inventory control system is all. Nothing that couldn't be done in a weekend or so.... In the spirit of the thread, there are some wonderful trophy rooms and garages shown here so far and thanks to the members who have shared. I'm with Bluedreaux actually in that I don't mind having the reloading stuff contained into one place, the garage stuff in the garage and then the rest of the house being plain old living space. That said Doc as you know I've been married for more of my life than single and having kids in the house too changes the dynamic for me. Our garage looks like this quite often when it's fall and we kick out my wife's Forester so we can process some game. This is a grand friend who's been part of our cutting crew since it began in the late '80's. Large and ancient upright freezer converted to a fridge which keeps the meat cool in our very hot Okanagan early fall weather. One of two bench mounted vices - just haven't gotten around to mounting the third one yet. This one is made in what was then West Germany and has an honest 6" opening. Different wall in background. Anyway Doc, as you can see - shelves are the answer to your organizational dilemma. Have a good day Doc and all the best to you and yours this upcoming weekend as well. Dwayne

I LOVE the Dr seuss shelves, very swoopy. Yeah, in hindsight I probably shouldn't have put all my bulk packaged cast bullets on the same shelf. Been that way for 2-3 years and she's still holding, though.

I can't be the only guy who enjoys having a house that's not a cave.... The best part of my day is walking in the door and smelling "my house". And thanks to my wife that smell is pleasant. Usually a candle or fresh cookies, fresh laundry, my wife's perfume or supper.
If I lived alone my house would smell like gasoline and Kroil. It'd be cool for about a week and I'd have to hire a housekeeper. This. I've got a room full of weights, guns, and reloading equipment. I've got a shop for tools, truck, tractor, atv, etc. I don't go there to hang out, I go there to get stuff done. I want to hang out with my family.

Agreed.
"Man cave" is what women call a room that they have decorated with "manly d�cor".
It's fun for them so I give them a pass on the use of the term.

Your wife is obviously a realist and a highly intelligent woman.

Anyway Doc, as you can see - shelves are the answer to your organizational dilemma. Have a good day Doc and all the best to you and yours this upcoming weekend as well. Dwayne Dwayne... yes, I have about come to that same conclusion! I have been in the process of moving most of my reloading equipment & components into a 12'x12' room in the house, and the existing shelving is clearly TOTALLY inadequate. I'm gonna have to rip it all down and start fresh. Building new shelves ain't the big problem... planning the shelving scheme and getting it right the first time is gonna be the hard part!
