    We are in the process of doing just that. extending the wall out about 10 feet to enlarge our bedroom and have another room off to the side. The plans cost a grand alone. John

    Already added the screened porch, and start next week with a kitchen remodel complete with wine cooler and computer desk. If that ever gets paid for, we will enlarge the master bed room adding a laundry room and making a half bath a full bath. Walk in closet with LARGE gun safe bolted to the slab.

    Funny how they can have a whole huge garage or repair room/gun room basement, really makes no difference where the room or space is located, they usually end up working on the coffee table....gawd that irks me....
    but if I ever ever find gun parts or gun repair tools in the bathroom, or bedroom well something is going to go and it aint gonna be me....*LOL

    I'd add a garage for sure... We have an unattached metal shed that used to be a horse shed (all galvanized tin).
    However, if this "room" had to be actually part of the house, I'd add what we've always called a "mud room" which is simply a place to with a tile floor, where you can come in and drop your dirty, muddy clothes, wash your hands, etc. I'd also put a gun safe out there, along with a reloading bench.

    A couple of years ago Swwbo and I put on a 400 sq. ft addition for a new kitchen/family room. Best money we ever spent!! For 19 years we cussed the old galley kitchen that we had and the lack of recreational room to just relax. Bad part was it cost more than the rest of the whole house 19 years prior. Talk about sticker shock when we priced new cabinets!!!!!!!

    Punchie and I have a three bedroom 2 bath rancher, (I don't do stairs, I fall up them and down them)... We use our master bedroom to sleep in and I use one of the other bedroom's as my dressing room.. All the children are grown and gone.. Punchie is never here when I am..I wanted the big new kitchen but he's not here now for me to cook meals for him. Punchie took over the old kitchen with all his gun stuff.. It's nice having most of his guns & gun related items in one location.. He still keeps a few guns in our bedroom. Guess I can handle that..

    Pools are nice but alot of up keep.. The children use our alot in the summer.. I'm lucky if I get out there 4 times during the summer months.. Always something that needs to be done or it's raining. I do enjoy having it thou. I will never forget when he asked me about it.. He said hon I was thinking about buying you a new diamond or a swimming pool... I thought to myself... Can't float on no diamond.. so pool it was.. Was very exciting seeing it go in... Grandkids love it so worth every penny of it now..

    [:D] Finally some answerd the original question..what would the new room be?? [:D] How about a walk in gun vault with a work bench. i'm talking climate controlled room ,no diggin' to get to this gun or that one just wall to wall double row racks. Walk in a pick out the one you want in two seconds without having to finger up half dozen to get to the right one that day..sound like a good addition to me.[:D] [:D] [:D] Ever see Burts basement in Tremors...[:D]...got the idea now! [:D] Yea! I could live with it. [;)]

    I already have a three car garage, but I'm thinking something with the space for six cars would be great. There would be enough room for the three cars of the house, space for the racecar, space to reload, and space to sit around drink beers, and clean my guns.

    Just added on to my house this past summer. Added on around 440 square foot that has two bedrooms , full bathroom (shower no bathtub) with a small hallway to the outside. Havnt finished it yet, but i am close. SO far i have around $15,000.00 into it and i probably have another $1000.00 to $2000.00 to go before i finish it. I want to add one huge living room to the house, the one we have now is just to dam small. I want one with a fireplace and a real nice recliner and ofcourse one of them great big TV's .

    We already have a two car garage attached to the house. But with all the junk packed inside, there's only room for my wife's car and my Harley.

    I'd like to build a semi-attached two car garage. It would have a checkered flag tile floor, and plenty of room for "my stuff."
    1. Parking spot for my Harley.
    2. Place for my gunsafe and reloading outfit.
    3. Refrigerator for my BEER.
    4. TV/Stereo with surround sound.
    5. A sofa and chairs for the nights the wife banishes me to my room.

    I'll happily take donations, and invite all ya'll who donate to an * Kickin Party when it's done!!

    A gun room/shooting range would be fine. All of it underground would be better.

    My addition would be about 130 yards long and about 20 yards wide. It would have firing points at one end and a bullet trap at the other.

    About 10 years ago I put an addition on the back of our home. It gave us another family room (with a Vermont Castings wood stove) and a carport, and it freed up a storage room in the house so that gave us an additional bedroom in the house! We were glad to have it. [:)]

    Now we have moved away, and our boys still live there. We are back for Christmas holy-days and now WE are sleeping in the addition. So we are VERY HAPPY to have it! [:D]

    I own a 100 yr old two story. I probably won't stay here more than a couple more years because of my bad knees. Currently I'm turning the downstairs 4th bedroom into a new bathroom. It's too small for a bedroom but perfect for a bathroom. To get to the old bathroom from the bedrooms you have to walk through the living and dining rooms. The new bath will be at the base of the stairs & more private. When I'm done the old bath will become a 1st floor laundry.

    The back of this house faces south. There are currently only 2 windows on the south side of the house. One in a bedroom and one in the bathroom. If I were going tp stay. I'd knock the back wall out of the kitchen and double it's size with a big solarium/greenhouse. I'd put a big old wood burning range out there for extra heat when the weather is cold. Just so I could sit and sip cocoa and eat fresh baked cookies while waving at the nieghbors shoveling thier driveways. hehehe.

    As for the gun room. I'm a bachelor. When I bought this house, the master bedroom became a gun room/hobby room. I sleep in the second smallest bedroom. No point in wasting all that good space on sleeping.

    All that may change soon though. I broke down and bought an engagement ring a few days ago. If she says yes saturday, I'm sure she will have new plans. We'll see.

    I just had some snobby neighbors move next door and yes, I would like to move out to the country.
    However,, if my wife and I ever get back on our feet I would like to do something to our house like some friends of ours did.

    They poured a massive slab of concrete right next to the house and added on one big room. This has high beamed ceilings and gives one the feeling they are in a cabin up in the mountains somewhere.

    They finished the interior with a burnt pine look and have an old free standing fireplace also. Of course there are trophys hanging on the wall along with other rustic looking stuff.

    For an eating area they have an old booth from a cafe that closed down a while back.
    There is a big ol couch, along with other comfortable chairs set in the middle facing the big screen.

    I guess it doesn't hurt to dream[;)].

    Warning for all you home remodelers out there...We've redone kitchen, bath, dining, living rooms to our liking....then the tax assessor came...it's like paying for it twice.

    ...next project is the "family-gun-entertainment-media room"....stone fireplace, log walls, jumbotron, and of course the safe.
