After my first 5-6 years of HI, I felt a little cocky and felt I'd seen just about most of the crazy things that can be done in houses both by trades/handymen and the homeowner........until I saw something done by licensed electrician. He replaced the corroded oil furnace side of a wood-oil combination furnace with an electric furnace that he just slipped into the original casings. Now all certifications were invalid!!! Now I say after a work week if I haven't seen something bizarre, stupid, crazy, outlandish, etc, I've had my eyes closed.......although usually by Tues/Wed of each week, I've seen/found the crazy stuff!!

The way I look at it now is that we have 6 billion people in the world and each can eventually have about 10 ideas and ways to do something wrong or unsafely!!

Seems t' me that if it worked,they wouldn't be last words.

Last words would something like..."awwww shucks, it didn't work".

"It seemed like a good idea at the time."


or...

"Damn! That hurt!!!"
