The hutch is not...some day I hope to find a Coke hutch.   The ROOT bottle is a repro from Cokes 100th Anniversary.  I found it at an auction.

Causesway to much dust and I spend Far more time dusting than I ever wanted to. It's wood flooring for me next time. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to digdug) Post #: 17

RE: Finally...some of my Soda bottles on display - 1/18/2007 10:18:43 AM    digdug Posts: 618 Joined: 11/4/2004 From: Atlanta Status: offline I've debated over carpet or not or just paint the cement floor.  I had decided to do the carpet just to help protect any dropped bottles and avoid any casulties.  I have looked at carpet squares-about 2' by 2'. Short pile with rubber backing.  You don't even have to glue down everyone.  Just every so often tack a carpet square down and the rest stay in place.  My office bought it last year and it has held up very well.  I am hoping that it won't be real dusty.  I hate dusting/cleaning bottles too.

How's the new house coming anyway?  Hope it gets done pretty soon, cause I'll need a warm dry place to recuperate in.  Pam isn't going to let me hang around here for two months just sitting around and she already told  me I won't be "chasing her around" (I think she read that post a couple weeks ago) I'll bring my new, leather recliner and a couple of cases!

You would think it would with nice sturdy soda bottles but no. Maybe if you use extra padding it would help My next bottle room will have big 3'X3' black and white squares painted on it. Hey Wayne, The VA weiners have had my paperwork for over a year now and I haven't heard a thing. That usually means they can't find a reason to turn me down so they stall a little longer but they qualified me so the will build it. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to southern Maine diver) Post #: 20
