Reloaqding room in the garage!

Well I finally decided to build a room in the garage. It will beinsulated and heated for the winter. have air for the summer. It will be 8x12 with an exhaust fan for a casting station. With my 4 presses mounted, a sizing area, gun cleaning area, plus lots of shelves for storage. Other than a small frig and microwave what else should I add?

My basement loading room is not finished, so I put a large peg board on the wall above my bench.

I have my laptop with wireless internet in my area and a stereo hooked to it for the iTunes

It works good for me because Im brand new to reloading so I like to watch youtube vids on how to do things.
And I like to put in my 2 cents on the firingline

Not a good idea to eat in a lead processing area/room.

Heck, me and my brother did it all the time, no harm to us. I was just telling his daughter ,Ellie Mae, the other day, shes the one with the 11 fingers and only one eye, that lead poisoning is a joke. Her and my oldest son, the one that has a hump on his back and has one leg shorter than than the other, got a kick out of the story. I miss my poor brother though, silly doctor called it "lead poisoning." Had to be wrong, my brother never got shot in his life!

G'day ljnowell. You made me lol. It's not lead that YOU need to worry about, it's inbreeding.
