[QUOTE="Sunlight, post: 36675, member: 97"] ok...so everyone knows I am a spartan person. I am off work once a week and that day things go into a goodwill bag I drop off, and a fire is in the backyard to burn...well whatever I need to get rid of. my son Nick is a notorious saver (read that pack rat) of every thing....every dang thing. he sleeps days and while he sleeps I am busy tossing stuff from the basement. this guy has so much stuff he never misses stuff being disposed of from years back. it is going to take me a while! he has half of my two car garage piled up!! so last wednesday, I decided to get rid of a big unsightly homemade three tier wooden shelf. I hauled it out and lit it. that dang thing would not burn. I did not want to add gas and have a noisy explosion, and it was sturdier than it looked. frantically~~ while he slept~~ I kept going out and burning boxes around it, paper, whatever sticks I could find in the yard. as the day went on it only burned down one shelf. my big hope was that nightfall would come before he awoke for his late shift. that way he would not see it out there and I would have one other day to try to burn it. now I could not move it because it was charred. so, nightfall came. boyfriend came for dinner. Nick woke up. boyfriend said in front of Nick...I see you are burning that old shelf!!! my eyes bugged out to their limits! I was mouthing to boyfriend...NO NO NO SHHHHH!! too late. Nick turned on the outdoor floodlights. he said "hey you are burning my stuff!!" I kept quiet. I think there was smoke coming from Nick's ears. so...it has lain there a week. today I went out four or five times and it is finally down to a pile of ash. I also burned two boxes of old papers from grade school some old mags and the like to get it burning. [/QUOTE]
