Building new reloading room in basement: Update 2/23

[PBking51]

2nd coat of spackling is on and looking to quick sand and do touch up coat tomorrow. If everything Goes well I will post pics of a primed room Saturday morning.

Being that we are inducing March 1st /2nd, I will be putting off building benches to focus on moving my current bench/storage on Sunday.

2/23...paint is on and lights hooked up! Id give myself about a B+ on spackling. But I am very happy with the amount of light in the room and still don't have a center light picked out or mounted yet. Because of the <7' ceiling height I think I will get a low profile LED "flush mount" similar to those members shared.

I decided to leave 1 wall white for added brightness and for taking nice pictures of guns next time I have to sell to buy a new one or for diaper money, haha. I plan on buying one of those 48" folding wall mounted benches for the white wall. This will aid in working on guns and also save on space.

I will be moving my stuff down there today but will be putting off building all my shelving and start focusing on my wife who is due in 7 days!

Nice work. Looks like you will have good flood lighting. Can always add task lighting if you need it. I like the bench mounted LED lights on an articulating arm with the magnifying glass.

Congrats on the new family member. No doubt it will consume a great deal of your time, both awake and asleep.

We hope to hear an update, next year this time, when you have proven an adult male can go an entire year without sleep...

Congrats on the little shooter...

I like the tan walls. White walls bounce light around too much for me.

Good luck with the baby. I'm on the second round(Gbabies),they are one of God's gifts.

Thanks everyone! Got about 70% of the stuff down there. Yesterday was a long day, and just piling boxes on a little folding card table and plastic bin-type shelving

Well that didn't take long to fill up. It will be nice when you get it all put together. Congrats.
