Thanks!!! Will use that the next time an inspector shows up here. My shop has block fire walls, slugged and rebared, plus cement board for a ceiling. Fire dept has a fit, can't shut me down. In our town all paint, spray cans, thinners, and paint guns must be in a fireproof cabinet too. I always hand them a copy of zoning, codes, and whats allowed here, and then tell them I want to do a ride around and inspect all the neighbors garages, they get pissed and leave. I hear we are getting a new inspector so I am sure the fun will start again.
