A morning discussion while trying to determine where to light the pilot light on the downstairs gas furnace.

Me: I think that’s it.

Mrs. Holmes: You sure you don’t want me to call Homer?

Me: No, let me try and light it. You go upstairs.

Mrs. Holmes: If you blow up the house, it doesn’t matter if I’m upstairs or in the garage.

Me: Good point.

Household Safety Tip No. 33b: When working on gas appliances, don’t suggest for others to leave the area. It doesn’t matter where they are when you blow up the house.

1. Another Tip……….
   DON”T light your pilot and then decide to kill the summer fleas with a bug bomb.
   I had a friend who did and he landed in the front yard (moderately un-injured).

2. At least you can find your furnace. I moved into this house in August and I still haven’t found it. Apparently it is working though …

3. I have a boiler and someone mentioned needing to “bleed the radiators”. Whatever the F that means.
