Where do you reload?

[colonel3006]

I used to have everything set up in the back room where there's no heat and everything worked fine, just I got sick of being cold. I ended building a bench in a big closet that we don't use for anything. It fills the whole closet and works great, and is a lot nicer with heat. When I'm all done I just close the doors and everything is out of sight.

I have a room in the basement for reloading, needs an upgrade and expansion.

Growing up I always loaded in the garage, when I bought my current house I moved everything to the unfinished half of my basement. The temp in that section stays reasonably stable year(2-3C variation) and humidity hovers around 70% in the summer to 46% as I check the hygrometer on the mantle next to me. One difference I've noticed is that stored hulls tend to have less crimp issues since I moved everything inside.

I use my unheated garage. I have to keep applying WD-40 to keep control of the rust. I can only assume it's from parking our cars in there and the heat from them causes condensation. The press is less than a year old so it's a little frustrating. All my components and dies are stored in the basement. I'm looking forward to warmer temperatures so that I can reload and still feel my fingers at the end of a session.

I'm a liveaboard on a sailboat and I store all my tools and do all my reloading in the aft cabin, which is about the size of a small closet; humidity is definitely a problem and everything is kept in airtight containers or heavy zip lock bags. As a rule after I use a tool/die I wipe it down with a G96 soaked rag before I seal it back up. Humidity collecting on cold components while in use can happen if I have a heater on while I'm in there, but as long as I'm careful and keep some airflow everything is fine. My biggest challenge is weighing powder on days with more than 10 knots of wind, or days with frequent harbor ferry traffic. As most can imagine, electronic scales are useless on a boat, as are the nice electronic powder dispensers I would love to use, so if I want a weighed charge, I have to use a beam scale.
