Finally...some of my Soda bottles on display

[capsoda]

Hey Doug, Hygeia Bottling Works bottles green or blue?

doug, looks like a very nice display.

Both Hygeia bottles are a light green, like a Coca-Cola bottle.

I still have a lot of work to do. Another area to do the ceiling tiles, and of course carpet. A lot of people here at the forum have given me suggestions and a lot of great ideas that I have incorporated into my display areas. Thanks for all the help! I hope to get the other 800 sodas out on display soon. That will make for more interesting photos than the ones I posted earlier.

Here are just a few of my Pepsi and Mountain Dew stuff. I have a lot more to unpack and display.

More Coke stuff.

I got carpet in the room where I keep many of my bottles but when I get the new place built I won't. Causesway to much dust and I spend Far more time dusting than I ever wanted to. It's wood flooring for me next time.

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.

Hey Warren...

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[&o])

I'll bring my new, leather recliner and a couple of cases![sm=tongue.gif]

Hey Doug, I know it is a personal preferance thing but I can tel you from experance, on concrete, carpet won't save your treasures if droped. 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.[]
