Today we had our first real setback in building our home. A propane tank leaked around the valve and became a flame thrower. The painter called 911 and the fire department responded in six (6) minutes. The tank could have exploded and caused major damage, maybe even loss of life. Luckily the only thing that happened is some burnt wood, destroyed insulation and some destroyed wiring. We do have insurance, so the loss will not be great. The frustrating thing is the loss of time. This will set us back about two to three weeks, depending on getting the inspector to give us the go ahead to make the repairs after the insurance adjuster gives us his report. Here is a picture of some of the fire trucks that came to our house. Four in total, plus about 10 individuals.
