Well, the oven just caught fire.
Had bacon in it and it went off the rails.
Now we have a kitchen full of white powder.
Holy Hell !!! Glad it sounds like you and your family weren't hurt.
Talk about a High Blood Pressure moment.
So.......how was the bacon?
Wow.....but there is some lol in that....you sick bastard. :)
Howdy Wyome.
And happy Mothers Day to all the Moms for sure...kitchen fires aside.
Leave it to the reporting crew of our channel 2 news covering the plane crash in Parker this weekend to wrap up the story with....
"Investigations surrounding the crash are still up in the air"
wtf...?
It should be no surprise that roached bacon isn't as appealing as well cooked bacon.Quote:

The fine coating of bicarbonate all over from the extinguisher, and the aroma of burnt in the house is especially enjoyable.
I certainly had better things to do today.
Timing sucks too. I was hoping the oven would last until we remodel. Guess I'll look for something on CL or a scratch and dent.
Wife is working so at least she didn't have to endure this today. Got it mostly cleaned up.Quote:

I smelled it before it got too far. However, there's no smoke detector downstairs and it wasn't enough to set off the upstairs.
Meh,Quote:

In retrospect, I should have just gone outside and killed the breaker first instead of opening the door. I didn't notice it was actually on fire, just some smoke coming out the vent.
I thought maybe just the sheet pan was on fire and I could just throw some bicarbonate in there and opened it again with a box in my hand and it was worse. LOL. That's when I went for the extinguisher.
Damn...glad you're ok
Went to the junkyard today (West Auto Parts in Commerce City). Lucked out and found the part I needed pretty quick (a power antenna). I bring it up to the counter and the guy says, "I can do $25." I said, "This is a Rock Auto replacement, and that's what they go for brand new." He just shrugged and asked me to put it back in the car I got it from. What the fuck is the point of going to a pick and pull if they are going to charge you the same price as brand new parts? Now I have to call around and see what people will charge me before I waste any more time.
This is it from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Metra-44-PW22...70_&dpSrc=srch
Maybe $25 is an okay deal, but it sure doesn't feel like it, can't even tell if it worked.
The difference price wise, gives you one that's warrantied and one that isn't.Quote:

I've gotten a few small things at junkyards in the past for great prices, even ones that were already pulled for me. Just not yesterday I guess.
That's a bummer Irving, and I would add that the trouble you went through was a decent enough pain in the ass.....I'd also say that even if they sold it to you for half the price, you still spent much of your time AND it's still used shit when you walk out the door too.
If I'm going to replace something on a car I'm keeping and driving daily, I'll buy factory stuff if I can (especially electronics), or at least new replacement parts aftermarket.
Fortunately it didn't take me very long. Also, this won't be going onto a car, although it will be just as important to have something that is reliable.
I'll bite. What is car antenna for if not going on car?Quote:

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be mysterious so much as I'm positive people are getting tired of hearing that I have chickens, especially after I bumped my thread.Quote:

Then there are fancier models that have built in timers and such, like so: https://www.amazon.com/ChickenGuard-...r+opener&psc=1
But, since I've been reading so much, I've seen that people are grabbing power antennas for cheap and just using those, as seen in this video (skip to 2:40): Intro music is the same from Chef John's Food Wishes videos.

My plan is to set mine up pretty much like this where I'll cannibalize a solar LED garden light with a photo cell, and have that control the opening and closing of the door. That way I won't have to adjust a timer throughout the year.
I was also painting at midnight last night. I was using that cheap paint from Habitat for Humanity. Man that stuff goes on like water and slops everywhere. In addition it smells weird. I went to put my pants on from last night and they really stunk, but it took me a long time to figure out what the hell the smell was. In addition to painting, I went through the added labor of sanding down pressure treated wood for non-stop for an hour and a half. In the end, I just started painting everything and couldn't really tell much difference between the sanded and non-sanded stuff.Quote:

I was sanding because I was trying to clean up other lumber that wasn't pressure treated, and was planning on painting everything. Most of what I sanded were fence pickets and I found that the pressure treating seemed not to penetrate very far below the surface and I was getting raw wood almost right away. I made a bunch of quick passes and it took the paint very well. Especially compared to some scrap pressure treated 4x4 that I had laying around. I threw a quick coat of paint on that and it hardly even took the paint.
Older matl is treated with CCA - chromated copper aresenate, exposure to arsenic should be avoided.
Newer matl(after Dec 31 2003) is treated with organic compounds. Not as effective but less potential exposure issues.
Ahh, thank you.
