    I decided I wanted to restore an one-room schoolhouse in my neighborhood and use it for my business. I thought it would add some character to my company and it was much less expensive than purchasing office space in the city. There were, however, a lot of remodeling that need to be done prior to we can move into the building. We needed some new fire extinguisher cabinets, fire blanket cabinets, vertical mailboxes and ladder up safety products. While these may all seem odd for a business to need, through our experience we have seen why it is beneficial to have all of these things just in case.
    My business set up a little kitchen area in the schoolhouse so we can have all our lunches, coffee and tea whenever we want. This does, nevertheless, included some dangers. Because the schoolhouse was built in the 1800s, it is not up to par in terms of fire safety. While we have put in fire-retardant instillation among various other safety measures, we still want to make sure we can stop a fire if needed. We have two fire extinguishers in the kitchen just in case. While one fire extinguisher may be sufficient, we like to be careful. In our previous office we had troubles with the stovetops and determined being prepared is always best. like i said rate us clicky
    We have also put two ladders on the outside that go to the roof. We have reconstructed the roof so it has a nice balcony on the back where my fellow coworkers and clients can enjoy coffee on the roof. It may not be the most traditional conference room however in the summer I'm sure it will be a welcomed change of scenery. In order for the balcony to be safe though, we needed a fire escape so we set up two ladders on each side of the balcony. In order to make them more secure I also purchased safety products as well as ladder up safety posts. This will make certain my coworkers and customers can leave the building safely if anything were to happen. site preview
