And I've put together my man cave.

It's small, but it's mine. My wife never comes out here and my kids can't yet.

Cut down an old hardwood kitchen table for the bench, mounted a light fixture to the wall, added a barn heater, and come summer, an air conditioner is going in.

Nice to have somewhere to load that isn't your living room.

Good deal. Wish I had a man cave other than my cluttered garage that I cant even put a vehicle in.

I will suggest you remove both the WD 40 and the liquid wrench from the area ASAP!

Both these products can Migrate, through the air, and will cause misfires and poor to no ignition when they contaminate your primers!

Good thing the primers are stored elsewhere.

.............It's nice to have a place to do 'Your Thing' that doesn't interfer with other household things, regardless how humble it might be. Mine is in the garage and there never was the thought that there's be a car parked in it !:D An old friend of mine, who was a WW2 AAF nav/bombardier flying B-24's out of N. Africa (and who's now passed on) had a fancy doghouse.

He'd poured a slab across the back behind his 2 car garage and added on to it. It was 12 x 24'. A counter with underneath cabinets on the front wall, and cabinets above the counter. The back wall had the same but also sported a couch. He had a center island workstation you could sit at for reloading, guntinkering stuff, etc. On the far wall he had a refridgerator and a big gunsafe. The floor was linoleum and the whole place was finished just like a room in the house. On the roof of it he had a heat pump so was equipped with AC and heat. I told him all he needed was a toilet and he'd never have to go back into the house, but he said his wife wouldn't have stood for that!

My little space is too messy for pictures right now, but I cherish it.
