I will admit, I have done some stupid shit in the course of my life...
One of the best (I will admit to), is deciding to construct my own "fire logs" to help build a fire in the fireplace when I am too lazy to do it the correct way.
My thinking at the time was that store bought "logs" are just compressed wood scraps with something to hold it together.
Well, considering I work in a wood shop, I decided I have all the makings to my very own diy fire logs.
I placed wood chips, saw dust and some small shredded pieces of cardboard in a square mold I happened to have. I used a liberal amount of vitamin G to hold it all together, and used a press to compact it enough to hold it's shape.
And I thought, damn that was clever.
Well, that night I place my creation in the fire place, get the firewood ready to place on once it was burning...
I light one corner, and the next thing I know I am 5 feet back from the fire place and there are small burning embers all over the room.
It was funny once the the smell of burnt hair faded over the course of a few days, and my eyebrows grew back.....
Am I the only one who does stupid shit?
