It all started with the innocent purchase of some plastic stacking bins at the local dollar store. Each one should hold two hundred rifle brass and maybe a thousand pistol. I began digging through all the boxes and coffee cans that had been sitting undisturbed in my garage for years...let's see, here's some .38 special, 357 magnum, 9mm, .45 auto, .45 colt.....uhh......6.5 Swede, Jap in both calibers, .30-40 Krag, lots of .30-06 (bins are now overflowing) .30 carbine, a bunch of .44 magums (don't even own the gun)....where's all my 7x57 and 8x57? Must be in a different spot........
Both tumblers are growling away, boxes all over the place and I need to send my wife back to the dollar store for more bins. "Wow", she said...."do you really need so much?" I gave her a tolerant look and told her that I haven't finished with the garage yet......then I'll start on the shed.
Of course this means building suitable shelving (for that organized look) with everything sorted and labeled for quick access. With my other interests the shop is getting far too small.
One way or another I'm going to convince her that we need to start SERIOUSLY planning a new house.....with a monster garage. My idea is to build a normal sized home on our three acres, but with a FIVE car garage...two spaces for vehicles, two for shop space and one walled off room for reloading. Since our county taxes only the living space OR separate structures, I think I can beat the assessor at his own game.[smilie=1:
Oh yeah...she gets a sewing room........:roll:
