I have been building my own house now for two years.  And when I say "I", I mean with the generous aid of my father and brother for skill and labor.  With mostly the three of us doing all the work for everything except laying the blocks, their houses and properties have suffered. One such victim has been the gun room we maintain at my brother's house.  For two years we have done no reloading or gunsmithing to speak of. The room has been piled with storage and utterly destroyed as a workshop for my nephew's various and sundry projects that involve grease, wood, metal shavings and a total lack of cleaning up after himself.  The result is this:



So, this week I devoted a few hours to cleaning up and readying the gun room for use.  Now it looks like this:



Now that's a room I can reload in. 

   I even managed a little start at it. After getting the counters cleaned and working on the floor, I got the tumbler out and ran some of Dad's.45 Long Colt brass through it. I think working up a new load for his Vaquero will be my first reloading project in the resurrected room.  More pics to come.
