Is that container next to your house supposed to be burning?

Kiwi December 10, 2015

…asked the neighbors when they called us today at 7 pm while we stayed at the motel in town.

Hell, no, there shouldn’t be a fire with 5m high flames in front of our new house! Want to move in tomorrow!

Turns out the painters who oiled the timber floor today used cloths to wipe the excess oil and threw them into the trash bin without a second thought. Obviously they didn’t read the safety advice that came with the product. It’s easily inflammable when not treated correctly after use. These guys should know such things!

Our helpful neighbors already used the garden hose to extinguish the biggest flames

All sorts of timber, metal, and tile cut-offs with plastic makes a good burning mix
