[TenTec] equipment storage?

[Al Gulseth]

Dumb question - what about cinder block walls? I'd think that would be more 
fire resistant than sheetrock and can be "DIY" with "dry stack" construction 
(blocks without mortar in between but with strategically placed 
rebar/concrete "columns" inside and a cement veneer on the outside).
