the property and not do something to get the EPA or the DEA down on
me.

For sure I would rather have a hobby machinist that that guy who just
went belly up leaving me with a $50K clean up of solvents and other
yet to be identified chemicals dumped in back of the building.

Hey! don't throw those chemicals away, us hobbyists could use them :-)
