Just a word of caution about giving advice under the safety thread or anywhere else for that matter. According to Business Law, if someone relies on that advice and gets hurt or has a loss. They can hold the person that gave the advice liable. Giving advice can be interpreted as holding oneself out as an expert. So any post that does not include a statement to engage the local building inspector, fire marshall, fire underwriter or at least follow the local building codes, can result in a liability lawsuit. So please, if you post, make sure you state that the final authority is the local building code/enforcement/underwriters etc.
The best example I can think of is Dale. He is very conscientious about pointing to code when he posts advice.
To Dale, A huge
