I walked my farmers agent through my metal shop. Showed how it was locked and constructed.
He thought like a tank. I think an armor car. Didn't say. It is 200 yards from the house
and has its own power drop and meter and bill. He knew I was starting Plasma as he offered
to show off some stuff at his office. No issue - far from home - and a metal building .

I just called my Farmer's agent and he says no problem with welding
equipment in your garage, as long as you don't (read that as _never_) accept
any work for money (that also means, I assume, they can't find out about any
transactions.) I was glad to hear that, especially as my welding is too bad
to ever think about making someone pay for it. Now that I think about it, I
wonder exactly how they define "paying for it" as it relates to "donations"
and bartering? I'm not gonna go there with my agent, even though he's been
really great for me.
