processhead Well I guess until I get an elevator in my house, I will have to continue to use my own horsepower to move my equipment around. Carts would be great, maybe I should start making sausage in the basement then I wouldn’t have to carry everything up to the kitchen. Though I usually make leave the really heavy (grinders) for my sausage making partner to carry up.

Making sausage in our kitchen would be a non-starter at our house.
Fortunately, I have everything in my basement work area for reasonably efficient meat processing including, cooler space and the smoker, so no elevator required.
Having a walkout simplifies moving deer quarters, frozen meat, finished product in and out of the basement.

processhead a walkout would be nice, I guess I haven’t ever really thought of some of the convivences of having a walkout basement.

The advantages are numerous.
Moving in appliances, gun safes, sausage making equipment. And then there are guests that you don’t want coming through the front door early in the morning or after-hours. Did I mention the man-cave, brewery and bar are also in the basement?

Well that could be interrupted in multiple ways…

Ridley Acres I used to cover all my equipment, but I realized that I was washing and sanitizing it before use anyways, so what’s the point, now it is just stored on shelves.

Ridley Acres We just keep ours covered with the clear plastic that came with it & sit it on top of the freezer in the big pantry. It seems to work pretty well & no extra expense or space taken. I like your idea lot though, if you have the room for it.

I took those big heavy plastic bags the comforters and bedspreads come in and put my grinder inside and covered my large slicer . Sits in the garage ready when needef

[RafterW]

I use the aforementioned trash bag.

I kinda feel like I need another to put the packaging specific stuff in.

If I had another the vac sealer and paper rolls can each have their own pan

And I could get my grinder in one too

I use black storage totes (ones with the yellow or black tops)
