HelloIAmYourHeart posted:Somebody in BFC (I think it was Knyteguy) said he used to have a lovely truck with no defrost so he would light candles on his dashboard to help melt ice off the windshield when it was real cold. I used to do that with my old landrover Imagine 4-5 of these:  lined up along the dashboard to defrost the windscreen. It also had the bonus of slightly raising the cabin temperature...well they were more effective than the heater, anyway.

Rnr posted:We here in the old country still use live candles on the x-mas tree to this day. Very common. I thought the US was supposed to be an anti-nanny state?! Maybe it is and its the people that have become nannies. Seriously, led string lights on your x-mas tree? For shame. I remember seeing this in Switzerland when I lived there. I was a kid at the time, sio I don't know where the Swiss sourced their trees (probably inside the country - seems to be the Swiss way) but I remember them being relatively small, and quite a few table-top size. I also recall twins from Sweden in my 5th grade class; one of them was hideously burnt from a candled tree catching & falling on him as a young child. He was too young, even at 11, to have work done; I presume he had that corrected in his late teens). The US has a huge tree industry (search for "Christmas tree farm helicopter" sometime) with cutting commencing in late September or October, so by the time most trees get to a household, they're a couple months gone. Plus, most people are not the brightest bulbs on the tree (heh) about fire security/protection anyway - the knowledge to prep a candle tree is not widely known beyond, "don't do it" - it takes very careful placement & pruning to set candles on a tree so that they burn (relatively) safely clear of surrounding foliage. Plus, it should only be occasionally lit & be watched at all times. We here like to turn the lights on & leave 'em on until January (slight exaggeration). All it takes is to watch the video from the one fire department showing a dry tree going up to dissuade people.

My cousin does one at Easter with as many trees as people are willing to haul to her house at some point. She had the fire department called on her one year because someone saw sparks over the trees and though a house was burning.

Rainier NP, a park ranger was telling a story that around the turn of the century, people used to light pine trees on fire on 4th of July in lieu of fireworks. You know, because they popped and crackled and burnt real good.

Back on topic. I built my house out of candles but parked my overheating Ford F250 pickup truck in the built-in garage. Now half the wall has melted. What is the proper way to fix this?

I would sure hope the HOA also has a rule against doing... whatever the hell you wanna call that thing It's at the perfect midway point between smart and stupid. No wait, between stupid and really stupid.

Do you think he just does reverse burnouts and "bursts through" his garage door every day? :iamafag: I know, the top doesn't conform to the cab.

My Lovely Horse posted:I keep forgetting yours is the country where houses are basically 100% wood all around. Not like that is US specific. As someone from Finland, live candles on christmas trees sounds insanely dumb. And I read a disturbing amount of incidents in a swedsh forum from loving vases of water and similar transparent things working as magnifying glasses for the sun and setting small fires and leaving scorch marks on things such as tables and walls and furniture.
