Yesterday, I got the worst bad news that every man fears-

My wife wants me (and she is not asking) to consolidate my footprint in the house. A while back I launched a successful campaign to slowly take over two rooms in the house; the dining room (my current reloading station) and the home study (my computer/ TV room). I thought I had the perfect plan...I should have known something was going on when I began seeing my Army memorabilia disappear from the dining room and reappear in my study.

Last night when I came home and walked into the dining room, my awards and college degrees had been replaced with pictures of the kids- I nearly lost it...to say the least, It was messy.

Confused, I walked into my study and saw half of my stuff hung on the wall and the other half in a corner pile- Yes, a corner pile! I'd categorize the whole thing as a war of attrition and it looks like I am on the loosing end.

Soon my reloading station will be in the study. Pictures to follow. And I will hold my ground on this one (I hope ).

Yesterday, I talked with AndyC and he brought up a good point. I need to find something to protect the carpet. I would prefer not blowing up my vacuum cleaner (from gunpowder droppings) and I'm sure my wife would agree.

planning on it. I removed the casters due to too much movement and it also lowered the height of the table which serves me better.

I spent yesterday building, painting, varnishing. Today I installed the 4" caster wheels w/locks, the drawer locks, and the drawer liners. I figure I have enough storage space for powder, primers, bullets, scale, and other delicate items. I'll expand as I need to but for now it should work...And the best part is that I'm in the house with A/C!
