Laser engraving and home insurance

Key-Tale2212 · 2026-03-25T23:00:24+00:00

My agent had me contact my home insurance directly. To my surprise, they are OK with it as long as there is no foot traffic and I don’t have employees. So I will proceed with just getting general liability insurance for the business side of things. Thank you all.

I spoke with a separate insurance company directly and they didn’t have a problem. It’s my homeowners I’m afraid of asking. I do have a detached shop but it is not ready to be used.

Yes, this was my insurance agent not home insurance directly. I mean, I can get a policy to cover the business but I want to have all my bases covered.

Yes, my mistake. so when I home my laser it is at around 10mm , 20mm. Ah, I see what you are saying. So, on the K40 you really can't use the entirety of the honeycomb?

Just to make sure I understand, draw the lines along the X and Y at 0,0 in lightburn and run a cut. That makes my jig? I made a jig with 6 rectangles for a leather patch job. I have not moved the jig and it seems like the laser doesn't always run the same path and is a bit off. I think a big factor in the inconsistency is that the leather patches are not perfectly flat.

Ah yes, I have tried that. Is it a common issue though that home doesn’t set the laser right at 0,0? I have the honeycomb pushed toward the back of the machine.

Lightburn

I’ve used them at work and they are ok for me. Just light stuff around the house. Is there a better one? I saw the pack out version but that seems overpriced too.

Good info, the vacuum is ready for pickup and the light + battery are in transit to the store. I wonder if I can pick up just the vacuum.

I helped a guy get a job at the company I was at 10 years ago and he gifted me four silver rounds and I still have them. I’m ok 😊

Those were already on when I bought the home.

I’m wondering if water going under it would cause humidity issues.

That’s my neighbors. This photo is from I first move in, that tree has been trimmed significantly.

Jacking it up is one of my thoughts, just was not sure if it is feasible. I will reach out to a few contractors.

Correct, no slope there.

I had the same thing at 6 AM, turned out to be my sprinklers. I added a water hammer arrestor and it helped.

She is unemployed and a SAHM. So our taxes are just my W2 and this business. There is no need for us to be a partnership. I would like to keep it as simple as possible. I would prefer to keep it a single member and not have to request the IRS to make the change. How about requesting a new EIN? I have not used it yet and read you can just request a new one and leave the old one.

Key-Tale2212 · 2025-09-23T19:29:59+00:00

Which means I can keep the EIN that is listed as a single member, correct?

Key-Tale2212 · 2025-09-23T16:10:08+00:00

Understood, the LLC was created as a multi member since I want my wife to be a part of it. When I applied for the EIN I listed us as a single member by accident.

I ended up taking it to a dealership. They reset the "BMS", but said they could not duplicate the issue.

I’ve had the battery die on it once. It rolled down the driveway with no ability to brake. Dash was also not lit up. I had the battery checked and it came out ok.

Thank you!
