Wife made me take down Reloading Equipment

[INTJ]

Our house goes on the market next week. My wife of 33 years says we needed to get the reloading stuff out of the den/office to properly stage the house. Here is before and after pics:

BEFORE




AFTER



The desk was where the chair is now.





She is probably right. For the next house, the reloading stuff will go in the shop. I worried for three years about messing up those floors. Got lucky and only added one small scratch.

 

[jelenko]

Yeah. I was thinking the same - nice floor!

 

[gambleone]

Can't worry about your loads AND the floor both. lol

 

[Riesel]

The hand is quicker than the eye

 

[tmwinds]

I like the before picture better. But, I'm on my third wife and now load in the basement.

 

[Flouncer]

Not trying to poo it up but where is the dog ??

Wives usually know what's best.

In 2018 my dear wifey let me move my reloading table upstairs from the cold, damn basement into a corner of our dining room. Wow! What a Gal

If that doesn't impress you how about this - she brought me a Weatherby Super Varmint Master when I retired, $1,500 at the time.

My secret to success - a dozen of red roses every anniversary and a dinner out to the finest restaurant although we had to skip the latter this year due to the virus. Instead I cooked her a fine steak dinner.

47 years with the same GAL

Happy wife happy life.

My wife helped build my reloading room / man cave / bunker.

Well, it depends on who's looking to buy! Another shooter may have seen the room's true potential.
Sweet T-38 supersonic pics! Along with the Talon, Herc, Jayhawk lithos. And of course the Certificate of Aeronautical Rating - mine is hanging beside the chair as I type.
Good luck with the sale.

The change looks great! I liked the before pic, but reloaders are few and far between in the housing market. Too many buyers might have been “offended”!!
Put up some Biden posters! It might sell faster!?!
I still suggest you come look in Kerrville. Lots of 2500 square foot houses for sale with 5+ acres for around $350K!
You too could have a view like this!...and lots of friendly Republicans around!

I agree he should look into Moving to Kerrville.. Junction or Fredericksburg would be options too..

We put a house on the market in 2005. My reloading gear and gun safes were in the basement but not in an area that could be closed off from "prying eyes". The agent held an open house one Sunday and it seemed only the nosy neighbors were there. A couple weeks later one of the neighbors asked my buddy down the street if he could see his "armament". Amazed, my buddy asked how he would know if there were any "armament" at his house. The guys says "I know you're friends with _______ and I saw all his stuff so you must have some too."
Lesson learned!

The room looks better, smart man with a smart wife.

I agree with @DirtySteve and @joshb and I would add Boerne are all pretty wonderful. May not be able to live in the Texas Hill Country but we visit as often as I can convince my wife.

 

[drano38]

Agree with Texas. Retired from Randolph AFB in 2010. Wife drug me back to her home in SD. Wish we would have stayed there. I joke that I can move back any time, but I'd be single when I get there.
Decisions, decisions, decisions. . . .

Boerne is just too crowded any more and traffic was getting horrible... Plus housing and lan prices are way more expensive there.. Don't get me wrong it is nice just land prices are nuts..

 

[BigBlueandGoldie]

O.P. has all the cool reloading gear!

The hill country is awesome, but has lost a lot of its character......and then there's the whole property tax thing!

Was stationed at Randolph for two tours, 8 years total. 1993-1998, 2001-2004. My wife is a Texan born in Dallas but doesn't want to move back. She likes Northern Idaho where Oregon and Texas got mixed together.

The supersonic pics are indeed neat, a gift from my son-in-law. You and I may be the only two on this forum who would recognize all that.
