The solution was to get a skip hired and then filled with stuff stored in the loft. I now have loads of space for excess books and terrain and the room is back under control.<br /><br />It's a very liberating feeling.carojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-26255042707004213762015-02-24T19:17:53.989-08:002015-02-24T19:17:53.989-08:00Geesh, Peter! 20 x 6?

Storage for most items is fairly well controlled (a LOT of shelves), but keeping more than 12 feet of the table cleared off for gaming is a constant challenge.

And as FMB suggests, some shelving. I have some of those white plastic coated wire shelves in my computer/guest room, where I store my gaming stuff. Admittedly far less than you have, Jonathan. The shelving starts at about eye-level and on up. The shelves allow light to pass through where stuff isn't occupying it, so keeps the room fairly bright. Otherwise, great looking game room with a lot of toys!DeanMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07724268555970663130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-64501405425794686932015-02-24T06:12:23.354-08:002015-02-24T06:12:23.354-08:00Maybe some shelving?Maybe some shelving?fireymonkeyboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05833974263127787678noreply@blogger.com
