a couple of years ago (gad it's that long already?) a friend in the fire protection business looked at me and said "want some fire extinguishers?" It seems at one of his sites, someone had magic markered on 3 units, and because of this, they either needed a repaint, or replace to pass in a commercial building - so I got 3 nice 20 lb units - one of which I gave away

Lets see - 1 5lb in the kitchen, a 20lb upstairs - hall closet next to steps, one 1st floor, next to fireplace, but closer to the door, 2 units down the basement (a dry powder and a CO2), and a pair in the garage - I guess I'm well covered - or at least better than MOST, although not quite as crazy as my friend upstate - he had a hydrant put in, and had a pumper (used) in the garage - of course he had been the local chief, and he and his son had more than a clue how to use the gear
