How My House Almost Burned Down!
I also dodged a real life fire 30 minutes ago! Hubby emptied the waterbed ’cause carpeters are installing tomorrow, and he left the heater on!!! I started to smell something plasticky. Thought it was paint from the bathroom. Ignored it for a while, but the smell got more intense and it was only upstairs. I dialed hubby, and he said, “oh, no. I didn’t turn the heater off.” I removed my comforter which I piled on my bed to make room for boxes, and lo’ and behold…It was SMOLDERING! The heater ate through the plastic cover and charred my comforter. Good thing I was planning on getting a new one and good thing my ol’ snaz was working! Or we wouldn’t have had a house to sell! Maybe I’ll get around to posting a photo later. But from the look of my house, don’t plan on it!
