New reloading room

[westberg]

Dawn and I spent the last couple of weekends running to the home improvement stores getting idea's for the new reloading/ reading/cigar storage/ leave me alone room.

I thought it would be fun to post pictures of the progress as we try to put this room together. I'm lucky to have my son the ex-carpenter around for the month of January to help.

Suggestion are welcome, but bare in mind we do have some what of a plan in mind.

So how do you rate that your reloading room gets a sticky?

My recommendation would be reloading equipment. That would be a good start......

Actually, in all seriousness, if this is on the first floor, you may consider a translucent window covering onthe inside to keep nosy prying eyes off of your expensive equipment.....

Edited because I sounded like a a**hat.
The door and window are concerns that I'm still working on to make them more secure.

I think in all fairness you should change the title to “room”. Or “dog picture”.

When I saw the title I was thinking that I could get some ideas and was let down to see a room. The “new reloading room” title builds you up to be let down. Unlike Stard I think you can make anything you want a sticky. But what you can’t do is title things anything you want.

I purchased some static film from Target that works great for allowing light in, but keeping prying eyes out. I used it on my bathroom window when the neighbors caught justasicklittlemonkey playing peeping tom at my place. Works great, you might consider looking into it, because your neighbors will not be able to (wow, I'm so effin clever!)

We painted the room today and Mike will try an start on the laminated flooring tomorrow. As far as neighbors looking in the windows, our house is on a pretty large lot and they would have to be far off course to see this window. Some kind of window covering will be use, I will look at the static film. Our goal is to make it somewhat a secure room, not a safe room though.

If not too late pipe in compressed air? Try to minimize the draft factor with respect to messing with your electronic scales? Install plenty of lighting! Build in some wooden cabinets to store powder and primers seperately if you are going to have a lot. Keep your tumbler in garage.

Good suggestions, one question though, why the reason for the tumbler in the garage? Is it for the lead or noise?

Is it for the lead or noise?

My money is on lead.

Well, there is always the lead concern, but the mess might not go over well. It your keep it out in the garage you can mitigate the mess. Alway keep the cover on tumbler, the dust can get every where.

OK good suggestion, I just wanted to make sure that if it was big source of lead contaminant I was aware of it. I'm sure my wife will be please if I keep the tumbling media out of the house.
