[TheForge] Mass Resignations?

[Ries Niemi]

I am seriously considering installing a propane radiant heating system in the shop, even though as of Jan 1 I am officially “retired”, which means no more biz license, legal employees, and corporate tax returns. 
But my shop has been wood heat for 25 years, and I find chopping firewood less and less exciting.
