WE AWAKE TO A BAD ODOR AND POUNDING ON OUR NEWLY STAINED FRONT DOOR..
MEG OPENS DOOR TO NEIGHBOR ASKING IF OUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE...
meg does not want to know.. so she runs out of house in her pjs with both dogs

TONY PUTS ON BATHROBE RUNS TO PATIO.. sees smoking pile on patio..
GRABS HOSE..
AND ATTEMPTS TO PUT OUT OUR SMOKING DROP CLOTH FIRE..


(PENOFIN IS COMBUSTIBLE.. AND IT COMBUSTED) JUST A FEW RAGS IN A DROP CLOTH..



FIRE DEPT CAME FAST. THANKS TO NEIGHBOR CALLING 911...
TONY HAD IT HANDLED..HOSE IN ONE HAND.. HOLDING BATHROBE CLOSED WITH OTHER..
FIREMEN RUN THRU HOUSE.. THICK CLOUD OF CHEMICAL SMOKE
TONY AWAITS ON OTHER SIDE OF THIS SMOKE AND GREETS THEM AS THEY EMERGE FROM THE PENOFIN CLOUD.. COUGHING UP A LUNG..

--- SIDE NOTE.. ONE LOVELY FIREMEN MANAGED TO SAY," NICE BACKYARD" IN BETWEEN HIS COUGHS
GUY HAS GOOD TASTE.. - BIG UPS TO OUR PATIO IN PROGRESS.. WHUUUUUUUTTTT!

THANKFULLY.. NO DAMAGE WAS DONE TO HOUSE.. THANK GOODNESS...
JUST A BIT OF A SMOKY SMELLY HOUSE TO AIR OUT..
SO WE ALL SLEPT IN FRONT ROOM ON PULLOUT BED..


THE HOUSE HAD FILLED UP WITH SMOKE THAT NIGHT....
MISS LAYLA FOUND "CLEANER AIR" IN A UNIQUE SPOT...








MAYBE WE WILL WAIT ON THAT THIRD COAT OF STAIN FOR A FEW DAYS..

* in all seriousness.. Penofin is no joke..

This stuff just decided to combust in the middle of the night.. because a few rags were together on a drop cloth..
it wasnt due to heat.. so please if anybody uses this stuff. Read the can.. pay attention to the labels and warnings...
( obviously we didn't take it seriously enough).. NEXT TIME WE WILL...

A few before pics of Kitchen..
