[QUOTE="Ahall, post: 3840149, member: 49426"] Popcorn ceiling, wood paneling, carpeted floor. Looks like this in inside the house. The carpet is a big problem in a reloading room. Sooner or later your going to spill some powder. How are you going to clean it out of the carpet without a vacuum cleaner? The sparks in the motor and gunpowder do not mix well. The choice is blowing up the vacuum cleaner yourself, or leaving it for an unexpecting spouse. With that in mind, you should consider how many sparks the bench grinders throw. Toss a spark from the bench grinder into a carpet dusted with gunpowder. I don't think that's a good combination either. Also, some carpets are great for generating static electricity. Unintended sparks and gunpowder are also a poor combination. Bottom line, you need some kind of hard surface flooring in that room that is easy to sweep. Also, because they throw sparks, the grinders do not belong on the same bench as the press and powder. Same goes for the map gas torch on the shelf. Fire and sparks around reactive chemistry in a indoor space with lots of extra fuel - not cool...... If possible, move the fire sources and spark generators to another room all together. Your partner may not like the changes, but a fire induced remodel/ relocation is far more panful. [/QUOTE]
