Mike, you should submit this to The Family Handyman magazine for the Great Goofs section. You might nab yourself $100 if they publish it.

I have far better material for the Great Goofs section. You do recall I tried to burn a stump in my yard...by direct pouring from a gas can to a partially burning stump.

My wife just reminded me of how I accessed my roof when we first moved here and I lost our ladder in the move.

This was the most terrifying thing I've read today. I am greatly comforted knowing you're okay.
