    .......Of Mama giving me grief about reloading in the house. I just got back from Lowe's where I ordered me a nice little shed kit. I plan on running electricity, heating and cooling to it. It is almost tall enough for two stories, so I am going to put in a low ceiling and use the leftover space for storage. One wall will be the bench. Trying to find a deal on a mini fridge so I can make it my own little reloading and man cave. Have to see if my laptop will connect to the house wireless, otherwise will have to run an ethernet cable out to it, too. :D

    The strife in the household will diminish greatly.

    The garage is half mine. The mini-fridge is next to the powder magazine. Built the powder magazine to roughly the same size of the fridge. Built shelving using 2x4 and 1/2" plywood held together with Simpson StrongTie units. Strong as bull comrade.

    Above the fridge and powder magazine is the ham radio station. Over to the side is more shelving for reloading components. Reloading bench was built with 4x4 and 3/4" plywood from plans I found somewhere on the 'Net. The bench makes the shelving look wimpy.

    I can now let that stray spent primer fling off into the hither land without freaking out the spousal unit. Every month or so sweep out the powder specks, primers, and dirt.

    Photos when you get it done please.

    Forget running Ethernet and just buy a decent WiFi Repeater. Lots of choices on Amazon.

    Her wireless reaches the shed, no worries there.
