Shop safety

[olredalert]

----Having been thru a devastating shop fire 5 years ago, I'm pretty sure I know how they will feel. I lost 2 cars and my Suburban, all my tools and shop equipment, and Jan lost a bunch of irreplaceable old stuff that was stored in an upstairs room. The vehicles were not insured but luckily I had an umbrella policy that covered everything BUT the vehicles. I wasn't present when the fire started so no bodily injuries but I sure did suffer mentally. It took 2 years to even look at the 2 cars. Had I been there I probably would have been burned trying to save something (I am that dumb) so maybe that was some sort of plus. The fire marshal found a problem with the wiring inside a wall so I wasn't at fault, but I made a decision not to go after the building owner for anything. Only the lawyers would have made out in the end, and there probably would have been years of litigation.....Bill S
