   A few weeks ago, I asked about racedeck tiles, well I got them and will 
be installing them this weekend.   As a result of this I am doing some 
re-designing of my garage and will be installing a sink while I am at 
it.  Unfortunately, the only easy place to install the sink drain is where 
my grinder is currently and my welding table.

   I will be moving my grinder, welding stuff to an area of my garage where 
the studs are exposed.  The garage has wood siding and its all exposed. I 
am worried about sparks causing getting in there and causing a 
fire.   Where it was before the sparks/etc. hit the stucco inner wall (the 
garage was added on after the house was built so I have stucco inside one 
wall of the garage, the other walls are exposed studs)

    How do I prevent a fire in the other area ? is just covering it with 
drywall good enough since then they would at least fall to the ground 
?  special paint ?  I don't do a lot of welding/grinding but I don't like 
to worry about it when i do.
