We've had a lot fewer problems here with the shuttle flash.  I love it.

I have gone back to my shop so many times to check on what i missed turning off. i live about 3/4 miles away and it is a real PITA to return to quell my mind
Regular routine is heaters off and cool down, walk to the basement turn off the water and in winter turn the heat off.

I hate going back to check what I thought I left on but seeing that picture scares the crap out of me....not sure i will bitch so much about going back to check my stuff. I have plenty of insurance but I sure don't want to test it to see if it is any darn good ::)

When I was in the "manual phase" and using an IR flash, I had a sign that hung above the inside of  both doors to my shop and it read, "Are You Powered Down?" I can not tell you how many times I left dreary eyed and dead dog ZOMBIE tired.... It was a reminder to turn Sh!t off.

I have automatic one which is set to stay in place just enough to print 4 shirts (6/4 manual) or I can move it foot a foot pedal.
Even if I forget it, it will not stay too long above the pallet.
It is a great feature, but I would not want it to stay ON the whole night anyhow.

I had a scare about 6 months ago, scared me into upgrading to a quartz flash.  I love working with the quartz, I am much more relaxed while working with the flash, love the workflow and feel much safer.  Needless to say I also bought a fire extinguisher that now sits right near the press.

fire extinguishers, i try and have one in every work space hanging on the wall or in plain sight.  It's like insurance, you have it, but you don't want to ever need it.

I have a circuit breaker box in the shop, next to the door. When I leave, I never shut the lights off. I shut the main breaker off. That way I know everything in the shop is off!

Of course, this does not help if you are on a bathroom break, or other distraction.

I'm the same way about my water being shut off, I would hate to flood my shop, but fire would be worse that water.

I came in the shop after a 3 day weekend to the sound of my pressure washer humming and a busted water hose and a nice little flood.
