Stupid!

Not to long ago a guy burned his house down on our street. The guy was a contractor who obviously needed help with duct work. He ran the pipe from his wood burning stove through his house to outside with NO triple wall pipe. (insulated pipe so you dont burn things next to the pipe) And if that wasnt good enough cuase for a fire he ran right over a copper propane line!! Im guessing it melted right through that ignited and make a huge blow tourch effect inside of his ceiling which his family couldnt get to to put out in time. The guy who set this up was in jail at the time for drunk driving, and has NO home insurence. talk about screwed!!! Think before you try to save money by buying somthing and setting it up in a way that is not safe.
