    A new large extinguisher is on the floor near the front door.  It’s rated for electrical, chemical and wood fires.  This is the easiest place to remember where it is at and can be used to fight a fire where ever it is located.

    Mounting in the equipment closet or some other place adds the risk of a) delay getting to the extinguisher or b) being trapped by the fire in trying to get it.
    At the front door it can quickly be located, grabbed and carried back to where the fire is, while always having access to the default escape route.

    At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
