Last Night I Burnt My Greenhouse Down
« on: March 06, 2009, 17:23 »
So, When I got home last night I thought Id better light the greenhouse heater. Drat no parafin left, never mind Ill light a few tea-light candles and put them on the floor and on the staging.
At 08.00 I get a phone call from the wife to tell me that the greenhouse was on fire and she hadn`t got time to put it out as she had to get to work. Thanks a lot. "How bad is it I asked".
"Not that bad" she replies
Well it cant be that bad, if she has left it, I thought.
When I got home it was still smoldering.

The tea-lights had melted tthe plastic seed trays, which set fire to the plastic bins I keep the chicken food in, which set fire to the wooden staging.

Luckily no one was hurt and all my seedlings can be replaced.

A WORD OF WARNING !!!
Be very careful with your greenhouse heaters.

Glad to get that off my chest, now Ive got a greenhouse to clean.
