I've been told the garage is for cars! How was I supposed to know.
So the loading room needs to be in the shed. It's a bit drafty out there and stifling hot up here in QLD so its got to be a shed in the shed.
Starting to take form
New home, new loading room.

Looking good.
Shed in a shed could double as a cyclone shelter!
Remember to leave enough room between the studs to fit a box ac unit.

Re: New home, new loading room.
I looked at cool rooms, just to park in the shed, but all rather expensive.
A/C is all planned in. I'm going to duct it directly into the room to cool it down, then direct it into the roof void and wall cavity to keep things cool but with no drafts.
At least that's how I hope its going to work

I ended up using a 20' container. Lined it with cool room panels and fitted a split aircon. It gets very hot and humid in Darwin.

I would have gone with a container but didn't have anywhere to put it.
Looks like a great set up though.
Does NT accept the container as safe storage for firearms?

WOW flatlina!
I'm glad you posted that for all to see
Now I know that 1 press is not too much and 1 thrower isn't either
You must do a lot of reloading!

Re: New home, new loading room.
There's another 550 and Simplex Master on the floor. Also have installed a Forster Co-Ax since the pic. Yes I was doing a lot of reloading but not as much these days. When the culling gets going again I'll step up.
The container is registered as a safe. Can leave guns out but have to lock up the C & H Class ones. Had to do a few mods to get this approved.
Sorry for the hijack.

Re: New home, new loading room.
All good JB,
It's good to see other set ups.
I've changed mine a bit because my wife and daughter also shoot. I used to have all the business going on at 1 end. This time round the scales are at one end, mounted independently of the bench and the press is at the other on its own frame so 2 people can do their thing without effecting each other.
The insulation inside the shed also means zero phone reception.

Re: New home, new loading room.
Pleased to find my A/C idea works.
Position 1, cool the room down
Position 2, divert A/C to roof and wall cavity to keep the room cool, with no draft.
A nice even 24 degrees which isn't bad becacase the shed hits 40 by 10am
