Thanks for the suggestion...bob My house in Virginia and both on Long Island have alarm link to F.D and sprinklers plus fire stops added in key areas. The shop under construction in Virginia will have foggers with a split link to our pond and city water. The welding / machine shop room and HVAC room will have Halon along with link to F.D. Always amazed that we put our most valued vehicles and equipment in a shop and cheap out on even a simple fire alarm and some type of suppression system. I looked at a big collection of trucks, many one of ones or sole survivors and the building were built just under what would require a fire system. FXFYMN and I had a discussion about my systems and submitting pics of my system to the ATHS mag.

Popular Post fxfymn Posted October 16, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2017 Couldn't agree with Paul's comments more. Even if you don't do anything more than a rate of rise detection system it will be a good investment. Time after time I hear about significant collections being lost in a fire and quite often the fire has basically burned the structure down before someone notices it. Detection systems are cheap, around $1000.00 to install, and usually cost around $20.00 per month to monitor. In my case the monitoring is included in my house system, so the only cost was the install. I am on a well, so the cost of a suppression system was beyond my means, but if I were on city water I'd put one in. Final thought and I'll put the soap box away. Almost everyone is concerned about theft, but not fire. A thief will only take some things, but a fire will take it all. 4 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

Freightrain Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I bought one of those lil metal sheds to put my lawn tractor in. Holy COW!!! The bag of screws was half the weight of the box LOL!!! Took a few nights to screw that little 10x10 together. I can just imagine the bag of bolts for that "little" shed. Of course a few years back a tree dropped a huge limb though the roof and now it's a worthless, leaky shed. Need to replace it with a bigger one(after I buy a few battery packs for my cordless drill!! ) 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
