I am, I don't play with Gas, not my thing. Now that substation there........ 
lol

btw: on MY side of the substation (unit-1, the main one) in the switchgear 
area there once sat a large battery on the floor in the end of the 
switchgear cabinet. It's about 3'long, 2'high and 2' deep. And TOAST! It 
caught fire a long time ago (i have no idea when), everyting seems to work 
though and I don't know what I should have done about this. Ideas?

I'm buying a 4-ton, nothing bigger.

Great idea. I plan on getting the crane in the HVL set up with an attachment 
specifically designed to erect large coils and place toploads.
