Last week I had interesting experience. The house I was working on had an old floor furnace hole that had been converted to a return air vent.


It looked like it was solid until one missed step taught me otherwise. It was strange when at one moment I am removing a door and the next moment I am staring at dirty laundry in the basement.


LOL, I must have the falling instincts of a pro wrestler. It hurt, but no injuries to report.

Heh back in college I came back for winter break, I was tired and not really thinking straight. I went to go light our wood fireplace(with a gas starter). I literally asked myself the question...no wait do I strike the match then turn on the gas, or turn on the gas then light the match(that's how out of it I was). I finally come to the conclusion that the right answer is turn on the gas then light the match. Afterall it'll be quick to light the match so no big deal.....

Turns on the gas...

strike one....match doesn't light....

strike two....match still doesn't light....

strike three....match lights...whooo hooo!!!!

Brings match near fireplace....

Woooosssshhh....big ass ball of fire comes out of said fireplace....

Fortinately all it did was singe my hair a bit....

ROFL

But I'll never turn on the gas before lighting the match again.....

No ****en doubt!!ROFL

That was a retorical statement right? Women forget nothing!!!

Awesome. I'm sure glad I've never made any mistakes.

I might jack off hogs for a living but at least I'm not a dumbass!





















:D

ROFL^

Reminds me of when we used to grill on our glassed in back porch in the shit hole I lived in my sophomore year of college.

The ignitors didn't work on the grill, so we'd light paper towels on fire and throw them by the burners.

One time I got distracted and let the gas on for too long.

A year later, the hair on my arms was almost fully grown back.

quit being a selfish, lazy, c*nt and move your f'n grill away from the house before you kill someone!

damn tim...i feel for you, but it is kind of funny..glad it didn't escalate into something worse....kudos to your quick thinking.

pics of the snowstorm would be hilarious though.....:doh!:

If you got a gas grill, I hope it was a Weber.

Not with an unemployed wife I didn't. I'm sure they're great grills, but you pay as much for the name as the grill iteslf.

We all make mistakes, but it's how we deal with them that makes all the difference. I had the safety equipment I needed and used it quickly and effectively, containing the damage to the grill itself and the mat below (which served it's purpose in protecting the deck). I would have been in trouble if I hadn't had that extinguisher, though. Definitely something no household should be without.

With the new language filters, you can say "****" without having to insert an asterisk. Here, I'll demonstrate - Go **** yourself, you ignorant ****.

See how easy that was?

Rep - just becaue you and all of us can laugh at your expense. Nice story.it warms my heart to know other males can do some dam stupid shit too...

ROFL

Didn't notice this before.

I guess I'd describe my new grill as a "top end cheapie." It was on sale for $130 at Home Depot. The regular price was in the $200-$300 range. It has a side burner, which I'll probably never use, and a thermostat, which is a feature I'd been wanting as I try to experiment with cooking new things. The nicest feature is the sectional cooking surface, which is much easier to remove and clean. This grill also doesn't require the lava stones, since it has four separate burners and a large cooking surface, indirect heat is provided by turning up a burner in an unused area. I'll probably go through propane faster, but that's not a big deal.

Another really useful thing I picked up recently is a fuel gauge which attaches to the tank. I nearly ran out of gas while cooking earlier in the year - I won't have to worry about that happening again.
