When I lloked at the farm that we eventually bought,  I stopped by all the 
neighbors and told them I was  parttime blackmsith and I planned on working on 
a hammer and avil, and lighting a coal forge. I asked them if it was okay with 
them.  Everyone one of them thought it was a great idea.  After I moved in, I 
made a point of going around and fixing things for themfor free.  I make sure 
that I stay on their good side.

I also called the local Fire department, and EPA, Housing Inspection, and asked 
about ordinances.  I couched all my questions in the words

 "I am thinking about building a "hobby" blackmsith shop "somewhere" in your 
town.  Can you tell me what the rules are."  

I never mentioned the address or called from home.  I always called from s 
school/work which is in a different town.  I also never gave them my name.  If 
they couldn't answer right away, I called back later.

Isn't sanity really just a one trick pony, anyway? I mean, all you get is one 
trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy�ooh hoo hoo hoo�the 
sky's the limit!
