My kiln's in a separate building 65 feet from my house (and further from the neighbors). The kiln's on concrete blocks 12" from the wall, with concrete board on it, and the kiln's on a GFCI circuit. If the power goes out it doesn't turn back on which stinks but it's a good thing too.
Only once I've found a problem with the digital controller, where for some reason it was stuck at 1200 even over night. NO idea what the heck happened but it hasn't happened since.
I do fusing too on my non-torch days so babysitting isn't always an option. I'll leave the house occasionally while it's on, but usually I'm watching mostly because I'm impatiently waiting for it to cool so I can see my stuff.
