[NOT A TA]

When I lived alone and worked alone in the garage a lot I had two friends check on me every other day with a phone call. I also told my next door neighbor to keep watch on me and if you don't see me for a whole day or you see my garage door still open very late at night or very early morning check on me. I'm in S FL so I don't work in a closed garage, no need to.

If I'm doing anything remotely sketchy with cars, ladders, chain saws, etc. etc. I always find someone to watch for a few minutes just in case things go sideways. If I have to wait till someone's available, then so be it.

It's not just for the car/projects danger but other reasons also. My sis had a friend in his thirties that fell down a flight of stairs in his home and died. He didn't show up to work for a few days and eventually someone went looking for him.

I was having a heart attack one day when my next door neighbor walked over to check on me, I'd made it out to my front porch but was in bad shape, gave me a ride to hospital. Couple hundred thousand dollars of medical bills, but I'm able to type this.

Have people check on you!
