Yes, it's a "portable shop light" that was "hard mounted".

Since most of the work was done by the previous owner, the Fire Inspector let the new owner off with 2 pages worth of "30 day correction" notice.

He'll be back in about 45 days, and if there's no improvement, he'll red tag the place. That's when he'll need me to quote "chapter and verse" for the electric aspect.

I've got to get a digi cam with better memory and res... you guys wouldn't believe this place.. (on second thought, you probably would [Linked Image] )engine blocks laying on the floor, tools and parts scattered all over, 2lb "kitchen" extinguishers (with no pins or tags) hangin on the walls in place of 10Lb'rs, a fine layer of sanding / painting overspray everywhere. Yeesh. And a timber bowstring truss roof in the rear of the shop!

I think my former Lt. put it nicely - if we can't hit it fast with a (small) handline, that building's gonna go to the ground, and we'll watch it do so, due to the hazard.
