Today's post is nearly the complete opposite of yesterday's offering in that yesterday's was about conspicuous consumerism and today's is about DIY gone terribly wrong in an attempt to save money. A Michigan man who was trying to get a skunk family to move out of the crawl space under his house threw a smoke bomb in to chase the skunks out. In case you haven't guessed yet a fire ensued,but wait there's more! The man didn't call 911 until the fire had been burning for 15 minutes and a slow burning fire can double in size every 30 seconds,needless to say the house was a complete loss by the time the firemen got the blaze put out. To conclude instead of calling a professional to take care of the skunk problem which would have run around $250-$500 depending on the service he lost his house and most of his possessions,oh and no skunk carcasses were found at the scene. Skunks 1,Michigan Man 0.
