Rocked in (drywalled) does not prevent fire. It slows the spread of fire to other rooms in houses. In a single room it changes nothing fire-wise. Initially, when I had it built, I was going to finish the wiring, add air drops, insulate, and then cover. That would help with my heat pump. The idiots I hired to built, it did not maintain 16" on center and although I could still insulate it, it would be a PITA. If I ever get a break from all the customer projects I have, I may yet do that. It was fully approved by the government as you see it.
I use the engine hoist a lot. It's very safe transferring bikes to and from my tables. It was extremely sketchy lifting the rear of the bike to get the rear wheel out. In a perfect world I would have rigged the bike for a lift and been able to handle both wheels safely. Especially when in a hurry and operating on steroids, the world is not perfect! The final decision to change the tires was made after the bike was finished and ready to test.
When I document something on my web site, I want people to see the "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly". When I do stupid things, they are documented just like everything else.
The crazy part is that I understand steroids very well and I know the kinds of things I should not do after receiving them and I mentally nag myself "be careful" but that's not very effective. At least I won't do engines to gearboxes when I've had a shot, and I will double check everything before deciding whether to start/ride it today (steroid effects mostly gone now).
