My wife is a genius!!!!!

[SSN Vet]

Background....

My reloading "bench" (actually an old desk) shares the unheated portion of our basement with my wood shop and 500 lbs of 'stuff' that cries out for a garage. The other half of the basement is a finished office from which my wife runs her home business. The office is set up with a day bed, so it can double as a guest bedroom.

So....we're in the process of building a sizeable addition to our house .... because three kids sharing the same bedroom just ain't gonna cut it any longer!

Me...I'm psyched about the 'new' basement, because I've staked my claim on it for a "real" woodshop. But I've been stumped about what to do with my re-loading bench. I don't want to give up shop space.....but I'm tired of freezin' my butt off.

So, I'm starin' at the back of her head while she does her home business thing last night and she says...."once we get the day bed out of here, why don't you move your reloading set up into the office"

I am so psyched!!!

Man is she a keeper.

 

[ReloaderFred]

No doubt about it, she's a keeper!

When my oldest child moved out, my wife let me have his room to setup in. MY OWN ROOM. Wow, she sure is nice to me.

Congrats. never give it back. Possession is 9/10ths of the law.

 

[fmnnc]

Does she have a sister?

 

[The Bushmaster]

Hey!!! all you guys are married...Knock it off. I have my own room for my guns and reloading stuff. (Stuff=That which belongs to a man)(Junk=that which belongs to a woman). But I didn't say that...

 

[Walkalong]

I remember those days Bushmaster. Long gone for me they are.

My friends keep telling me that the 50's Sinclair gas pump in the living room will be the first to go if I ever get married, I guess I could sacrafice that for a loading room.

So, I'm starin' at the back of her head while she does her home business thing last night and she says...."once we get the day bed out of here, why don't you move your reloading set up into the office"

She just wants to keep an eye on you.

AirplaneDoc,

Be sure to let me know if some female makes you get rid of that gas pump. I want it!

Fred

 

[AirplaneDoc]

Jack A Lope,

I completly agree, this thread does need a pic or 2.

Reloader Fred,

Just a teaser, Hope you have high celings where ever you want to put a gas pump, as mist are this tall, but there were a few that old pumps that are under 6' globe and all, Unfortunately it is not for sale at this time, and neither is the '31 Quarter Slot (for entertainment purposes only of course).

​

 

[ReloaderFred]

Very nice! My livingroom ceiling is about 14', so no problem. I traded my slot machine for a Springfield M1A, but I've still got a 1902 National Cash Register......

Good for her, good for you.

 

[AirplaneDoc]

Good trade, I should look into swapping a couple of my Limited edition Alberto Varga's prints for rifles.

As long as you are having an addition built why don't you have heat piped into your basement shop area? Then you could have a gun room and a shop room.

 

[The Unknown User]

How did you meet such a woman?

 

[Officers'Wife]

Hi RoadkingLarry

Us men pretty much understand that women run the world, we just don't want to let them know that we know

Oh brother... We know you know, we have shown you enough even the dumbest dog would learn it.

Ooops...Cat's out of the bag...

 

[Wildfire]

Good Wife.

Hey my kids moved out a few years back and I even got my own bathroom now. The bath tub still has a little yellow duck from the grand kids.
But I am getting camo shower curtians.

 

[oklahoma caveman]

so how lucky am i to have a wife who loves reloading?

 

[JohnL2]

Does she have a sister?

Hey that's my line.

 

[Officers'Wife]

Hi oklahoma caveman,

Hmm, I reload my 32-20 brass and 303 Brit but my husband doesn't like me too. Something about PMS and smokeless powder being a bad combo.

He sleeps on the couch a lot.

RonE makes an excellent point.

If the "new" basement has HVAC ducted to it, why not duck to the "old" basement (assuming there's a shared wall)?

 

[Grizzly Adams]

Don't look now, but she wants something A new car, diamond ring, there's something going on in that beautiful head!
