Me too!?! A round trip to town would have been 30-40 minutes at minimum, lots of time for nasty conflagration to be out of control. There was a moment early on as I thought I've got 5 minutes to knock the fire's dick in the dirt or I'm going to start shuttling guitar bits and pictures - guns might not make it as they're upstairs - to the garage. At this point I was also wearing a vapor level mask for the smoke. Ah the stupid sh*t we think under stress.
Sad thing is I still haven't found my soldering iron as I also got to replace plastic [?!?] fittings on a pressurized water system - two trips to town for the bits as I couldn't find my pipe tape... I'll get this house beat into shape a wrinkle at a time.
Took a day for the adrenaline to wear off to post this.
A lot of you know we bought a new place in Lake Arrowhead last year In following my DOC’s Studio build thread. Our last home had a nice BBQ island I built, but I certainly couldn’t move that to the new place so I ordered a new grill for the new house Last month. It got placed against the house in the picture below, just below that light and you can see the natural gas line in the lower right.
So we have friends over for the weekend and we did BBQ chicken on the grill. Nice dinner. Around 2 AM Karen and I both smelled...
