I started fabing pipe in the shop at 16 then eventually was moved up to foreman. Now I am pursuing a nicet certification and another college degree. I love my job and wouldnt change it for the world.
I think residential sprinklers wouldbe good and the person would definetly get his money back from insurance. Not for it or against it just think it is inevidible before it happens.

I really think all new builds should have fire suppression system built into them by law, it is proven cost effective and it saves lives.
