So today I got a repair man coming to look at my boiler. I really don't want him seeing my reloading area and all the gun stuff. Putting all that stuff away this morning was a real PITA. Any thoughts as to what you guys use in similar situation. I was thinking of some kind of curtain on a track system similar to what you find around a hospital bed.

Welding curtain if you want something on a rod like a shower curtain. They are also fire rated.

Totally agree with Mtn_Guy…. Just tack up a temporary tarp…

hire only gun guys to work at the house. all my trades people and misc. labor force come from my shooting connections. if a workman knows what a press is he probably doesn't need to steal my stuff.

If the contractor should notice your setup or abundance of Hornady and Glock stickers, just tell him with a smile that now that he’s seen your setup… should ever there be a break-in at your house, you’ll have to give his name to the police as a potential suspect since he has been inside your house. Throw him a wink and give him a little chuckle so he thinks your joking around with him, but then look him straight in the face and say, “…but no, seriously…”
sometimes a little ‘mind Fvck’ is a good deterrent to life’s problems.

I just put my Dillon Dust cover on the my permanently mounted XL650. I highly doubt they would even notice what the stacks of die boxes and miscellaneous parts are for. I keep the cartridges in 5 gallon buckets with lids and my bullets/powder/primers in my gun room under lock and key.
Just have a reloading session when he’s working on the boiler. ‘Accidentally’ mash a primer into a crimped cup so you have to dispose of it with a hammer...make sure to do it when he’s deep in thought.

Same here. Had a new hot water tank installed a little over a year ago and one of the guys noticed my reloading equipment which led to a lengthy conversation of shooting, carrying, reloading.....you name it.
Cable guy was in last year and needed to access the gun room. I had a large black tablecloth that I used to tarp the opening to the double door closet. (Sliders, were removed for better access.)
He never asked. I never said.
Then again I don't leave servicemen unattended. Never have.

Are you possibly suggesting that other people don't want to watch nude, morbidly obese, 75-year old men tug at their handles?
Same. Only person I was concerned about was an appraiser that came in last week. Didn’t say anything about my reloading stuff but I got the vibe he wasn’t a gun person at all.
But my oil guy is awesome and minds his own business. I don’t worry about him at all

Next house will have a dedicated gun/reloading room...not for privacy reasons but because I am too lazy to clean my my sh@t up and simply closing a door seems like a great solution.
