My NEW Reloading Room

Rbertalotto · #1 09-04-2012, 06:27 PM

I decided to add Solar Panels to the roof of my house. The contractor needed a large amount of wall space for the inverter, disconnect and data box. This would need to be located in my "old" reloading room. Taking up the whole wall.

This old room was only 12' X 8' so losing an entire wall would really eat into the usable space.........

So.....I built a new room. This room is 12' X 12'. MUCH NICER!

It allows a nice solid work bench in the center with plenty of room to move around it. This is awesome when two folks want to work on the same rifle.

A new Gun Rack along one wall with my Cowboy Action gunboxes safely stored below:

All my dies and other "stuff" in its place:

Roy, that is awesome! I admired the pic's of the old room, this one is even nicer. I love mine, all 80 (8X10') square feet of it

. Have you come across any more deals on the gear reduction motors you had before?

Thanks Ramos!

No, I've not been able to source any more. Those were surplus motors. A new one is over $300!!!

I'm still looking!

Bet I could make a he** of a mess in there in no time at all. So many things to take out and not put away.

Great looking space and well thought out.

Great looking use of space. All homes should be required to have at least one of these. BTW Roy, aren't solar panels and reloading rooms in the same home mutually exclusive
