Didn't have enough stowage space in garage so decide a wider attic access door/ladder would let me use the partially floored attic area. Kept the boxes my stereo speakers came in so they would not get damaged if I moved. Went to install the wider door and could not cut a beam out and box in the wider area because all the kitchen wiring was running down that beam and no slack to move it.
Went back with a new door/ladder that added a little width because of the metal ladder but wasn't nearly as wide as the wide one I found. Still can't put the speaker boxes up there, but it is easier to put other stuff. Asked everyone I knew if they wanted a wider attic door/ladder nobody did. Donated it to Habitat for Humanities. About six months later some friends decided they wanted a wider attic door/ladder and bought one from the Habitat for Humanities' store. It was the one I had give Habitat for Humanities!
When I was in HS my car caught on fire when I was driving across town to pick up my senior pictures. Being a very smart 17yo I pulled into a gas station, ran in, and asked for a fire extinguisher. The attendants were eating lunch and didn't move until I pointed out that my car was next to their pumps. Then all of the sudden it was an emergency and it got put out really fast! I imaging if it had not been parked next to their pumps they would have let it burn.
It was the gas line from the filter to the carb and mostly only burn stuff on the top of the motor. Oh, and bubbled the already you could see primer in places peeling paint on the hood. I replaced the throttle cable with a piece of coat hanger and kept driving. The heater and defroster never got hot have that.
