I've been working for months to set up a small steel fabrication business
out of my home. Today I stopped by City Hall in the bucolic little suburb
I live in and found out that they certainly allow businesses in homes, but
none with welding. Ack. Anyone run into this before?

I think the biggest problem is due to OA tanks. Most home-owner insurance
policies have a void clause if OA tanks are on your property. Are you OA
welding? You might get around this if it's a problem by going to
propane-oxygen. Tell them you are doing explosive welding...see where THAT
gets you. (What are buds for)
