took advantage of being up so early to put up a fire extinguisher in a prominent place in my basement workshop. AND better yet i mostly cleared off my workbench, again :) i'm v proud of me & my endless fight against the forces of entropy

woke up from a nightmare about rabies. cool. definitely not getting back to sleep.

#personal #our house in the middle of our street #a friend of mine came over last month & we used my skill saw for the first time #and the blade was not adequately tight so it charred the FUCK out of the piece of OSB we were cutting #and i was like Oh that could've easily caught on fire and there's no extinguisher down here!!#there's a little one by the backdoor but i got a big one for the basement bc like. that's where all the power tools are #and the breaker box and the gas water heater and the paints and the solvents and the oils and the alcohols and the pile of wood etc etc #ofc as always my biggest fear is the huge fucking propane tank right next to our back porch #BUT if that goes off i won't have time to worry about an extinguisher lol (:#i should get a flammables disposal can.... they're shockingly expensive tho #and i have a wishlist as long as my arm already which includes like. a NORMAL trash can for the basement lol #currently i have a recycling bin & a trash bag loosely draped over it #oh but anyways i mounted it on its little hangy tab on one of the support posts in the middle of the workshop half of the basement #using a too-large hose clamp and a lot of 1x2 scraps as packing #bc i looked it up and you aren't supposed to drill into those! which makes sense
