I figured this could use it's own thread.
I'm not gonna do a poll because I would rather give people the freedom to just say what's on their mind.
So, do you weld at home, for yourself as a hobby or for profit?
If so, does your insurance company know about it?
Do you live in the bush away from other homes or in town near other homes?
Did you know that even having welding equipment on your property could/will make your insurance company drop you? I'm not just talking about oxy/acetylene bottles but electric welders as well. Maybe even angle grinders.
If you do weld at home and your insurance company knows, which company are you insured with?
Is this just a Canadian thing? Do you American's have the same issue?
My insurance company, and all others that I have contacted, have stated that they will not insure a property with welding equipment on site.
I have read my homeowners policy and they don't state anything about welding equipment or wood stoves in garages or that matter.
Looks like my options are to either not tell them or not have insurance. The only loophole seems to be farming.
I know that I cannot have animals in town, but maybe I could call my 3/4 acres of land a mushroom farm.....?
So, whatcha got?
