The garage is starting to get pretty chilly. Any ideas how I can convince my wife to let me move the reloading bench into the living room for awhile?
Feb 9th will be our 11th anniversary if that helps.
I think I'm SOL.

Go ahead and file for divorce? Seems like that way you can put a reloading bench in the living room of your new appartment [:p]
Ok, I'm looking for ORIGINAL ideas. I already came up with BOTH of those ones. I decided against them. [:D]
Heater for garage, easier, cheaper in long run ( any idea what a divorce costs), way less hassle then pissed off wife.

Buy her something shiny
I'm currently thinking about moving mine up from the basement. It's a bit cool down there and my 52" tv is upstairs. It so happens that I stained my bench a rich, dark mahogany so I'm sure the other half won't mind. It'll add to the decor.
good luck with that [8)]

I hope your not planning on watching tv while reloading.

I like having rerun Dr Who episodes playing in the back ground, helps me focus.
Edit want to add: It freed up my spare bed room that now has more function than just a reload room.

That's what I'd do.

I like Dr Who also. My son got me started watching that. Might just be me but i dont think watching or even listening to tv while reloading is a good idea
beeramid and bigdaddy, I think that's the plan. Just trying to figure out the opportune moment.
No time is better then right NOW.[:D]
When you're done put it back in the garage--thats what I do. There are other types available from Midway as well.
I know of one person who had a reloading setup in the bedroom but his wife divorced him and gathers child support now.

C'mon Man! Grow you a pair and just do it. She will get over it eventually. My wife tried to tell me I couldn't hang my deer heads in the living and bedrooms. I laughed and started hammering the nails in.
Put about two inches of water into a plastic bowl and freeze it.
Once it's frozen take it, without her knowledge, to the garage. Pop the ice out of the bowl and hold it between your hands as long as you can stand to do so.
Now, dry your hands off realllly well and reenter the house muttering to yourself about how cold it is out there. While still muttering, slip up behind her and try to warm your hands against her warm stomach. She may get the hint you need to move the operation into the house.
Orrrrr, you could just tell her it's getting a bit to chilly to be working bare handed in the garage and that the short three months might not be to inconvenient.
M'self, I'd go with the latter.
I would tell her "look, it is cold outside. I am going to reload in the living room." Her reply would be something like; "NO! no way are you bringing that stuff in here to make a mess in the living room!" My reply would be "Hey, get over it. The guns and reloading stuff was here long before you got here, and will be here long after you are gone!"
My .02......[:D]
When she chirrups about it; move it to the living room.
1. Bring the bench in and set it up while she isn't home.[}:)][8D]
2. When she comes home tell her "look woman, this is what I enjoy doing, and I am the man around here, like it or lump it, the bench is staying."[}:)][;)]
3. DUCK AND COVER!![:0][B)]
4. Wait for her to stop yelling and leave the room (or house).[8)][:(!]
5. Resume reloading.[^][:D]
BUT -
Primers that fall out, as they always do, will be spreading Mercury Fulminate's combustion products all over the Rug, in the Air of the house, on Kitchen Surfaces, and so on....
Pushing in New Bullets will shave off bits of lead, to go same places as the Primers Dust....
Do You have Young Kids?

+1 its not a matter of if your allowed to do it, it's a matter of should you do it, i say its a bad idea, i have mine in my man cave dedicated corner i can keep clean, and far away from when eating here, otherwise it wouldn't be in the house, i have know 2 people that has had lead poisoning from casting/reloading , its not pretty, and easier than you think to get into your system

No Way this thing will ever fit in the living room,...so I guess I am all good with the wife unit.
You could always move unnecessary stuff like that froo froo china closet and that couch you never liked anyhow.....[:D]

I like that counter top. I bet the brass and primers really stand out on it too.
