halfdone, that's almost as big as the place I live in.

Are you considering installing a fire sprinkler system?

Might be a good idea.

I have a VERY funny Bud Light commercial video about sheds... I can't figure a way to post/host it, so if you want it, email me. It's about 5 MB tho... Worth it!!

I know that my classic car insurance (my '49 Mercury stationwagon) fire coverage is only valid if the vehicle is INSIDE my barn; if it's outside and a fire storm sweeps thru the area, I am not covered.

I SHOULD have had the F-1 covered with "laid up" insurance.
Would have only been $100 or so and I would be able to just put it into a shop and get the surfacer/primer professionally redone......although I would have probably done it at home anyway, it's a satisfaction thing.

The thought has crossed my mind in the last 24 hours........

Maybe a VESDA system like we use in the IT industry.......they pump the room full of gas to rob the fire of oxygen

Did you say a bud light video ?

That came out here about 2 years ago as a promotion for an Aussie beer.

It is all true.....us Aussies all have our sheds set up like that.....when my neighbors and I open up the walls we have enough room for the world series, including the crowds

.......they are going to be so pissed about the pool table and trainset getting burnt

Is that anything like a Halon extinguishing system?

Sorry mate, that's what we Yanks call "CRS" syndrome. Yes, it's a Carlton beer commercial.
