Happy 2009?
New Years was interesting....our gas stove broke, a water pipe started leaking in the basement and something big & important inside our furnace cracked - all happened on the eve of NYE. That crack in the furnace allowed carbon monoxide to vent into the basement and fill it up with odorless, colorless toxic fumes while we were away for a few hours. We came back home early in the morning to find the CO alarms sounding so we called the fire department and they came out to check for us (it was 4am). The detectors the FD read 140ppm at the front door and over 400ppm by the furnace in the basement so we had to evacuate immediately. It wasn’t fun trying to find a hotel on NYD morning that would take a loud and scared kitty with us.
This wasn’t the NY I had in mind but I am happy and very thankful that we are all safe. :) Remind everyone you know the importance of having duel smoke/CO detectors!
