Re: Show Off Your Nelwy Renovated Memorabilia Rooms
Thanks for all of the kind words on our basement and the displays. I've received a number of questions on the glass in the display cases, so I figured that I would post a reply to the board for others that are wondering the same thing.
I decided to go with 6 separate pieces of plexi glass instead of convention glass. They slide next to each other on each given side on tracks provided by the glass company. There were a couple of reasons that I went with the plexi over the glass: (a) Cost. Glass would have been ~$1,500 plus the track costs. Plexi was ~$250. (b) Weight. The glass would have been WAY heavier and could have bowed the case over time. (c) Safety. With three little kids I was not going to risk the glass falling and shattering on them.

Glad you like it!!!

I know all about AZ - my family is all in Tucson and Surprise now... hell, a house with a basement there would be worth the extra digging cost due to it remaining cool all the time... the issue would be keeping it waterproofed from when the rain finally starts to soak into the soil (after all the washes have overflowed!) and then it soaks in quick and fast!
Glad you liked the room!

Re: Show Off Your Nelwy Renovated Memorabilia Rooms
Here is a shot of my room. It has been undergoing some changes recently. I am running out room for stuff and wnat to maximize the sapce as best as I can. My focus is The Ohio State Buckeyes and the New York Yankees, my two favorite teams. The Lemieux jersey is a gamer, photomatched to the picture hanging to it's right.
I also collect hockey gamers and have a closet full of them.
Enjoy.

Just slap a little red paint on one wall and it's done. Well organized. Liveable, but still museum like. Practical rooms always get my praise...
Nice job Randy.Dave
