NWI INGO General Post Part 20 - Raccons 4 Life!

[Ballstater98]

Every time I put up shelves to free up space, the shelves fill up and the new free space seems to disappear.

Oh, she got me. While at the store she asked if I could also install some floating shelves in her actual scrapbook room. I asked where and how many? Deal was she cleans up any sawdust and drywall dust.

After 20 days lost, got a call tonight to go get our cat 9.5 miles away. Crazy, may have a little shock but all seems to be ok. Had to admit to wife that there may be some good in Facebook....

20 1/2 months and counting since I had to set foot in that hole

Almost 1/2 a hs lifetime.
21 months since we have had peeps here for us. Fingers crossed that we got at least another 12 months before they return. If they never come back that would be even better.

Morning, everyone.

I hate you! I slept for 8 hours once this year.

Believe me, it's rare. I don't actually remember the last time it happened. I'm usually somewhere between 4 and 5 hours. If it makes you feel any better, I woke up with a hell of a backache.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and expose my stupidity. Also a warning for everyone:

Self-Cleaning Ovens - Don't do it!

Happened Saturday. We'd been getting a little smoke from an overflow of turkey juice from cooking the turkey on Thursday. Wife told me she's gonna self-clean. A little red flag popped into my head when she said it, but I got distracted and forgot about it ... till the smoke alarm went off upstairs. I was downstairs.

By the time I get upstairs, there's flame in the oven, with noxious fumes boiling out of it - house full of black smoke. Turn oven off - Grab fire extinguisher - can't open oven door! It's locked for your safety. Man handle door enough to get extinguisher nozzle in, and it puts it out.

When I was fighting to get the door open, smoke was getting thick enough that I almost had to call it quits and dial 911. I would have lost everything if it had escaped the oven, which maybe it can't, but I was pretty much in panic mode.

Bottom line, don't self-clean oven after 20 years of accumulated **** is in it. I knew better, but didn't listen to my own instinct.

Yeah self cleaning is a misnomer. It's supposed to be more of a finishing operation where you clean it manually as best you can and then run self clean to remove the hard to get stuff.

This applies to some other "self cleaning" functions as well, such as washing machines (both laundry and dish)

Yep, I knew that but got careless. Dodged a big bullet on this one. Cost me $1000 also, for a new matching stove/microwave.

One good thing though. Since I didn't have a heart attack during this adventure, I don't believe I'll ever have to worry about one. The old ticker was pumping!

Now you get to purchase a range that you control from your smart phone so next time that happens you can get alerted via text then choose to text the fire department or not
