haha yeah that's funny
last winter out pipes froze, and burst and flooded our kitchen
we had to have the maintenance people in our complex come and remove all of our cabinets to get to the broken pipes to repair them
for some reason, the person who lived here before us thought it would be a good idea to put heated electrical tape with the wires in it around the pipes, and then surround them with flammable insulation to keep the pipes from freezing
not only did it not work, as the pipes did freeze, but it caused a fire because the heated tape sparked up and caught the insulation on fire
when the maintenance crew took off the cabinets to get at the pipes, the insulation burst into flame
so we had a flooded kitchen, burst pipes, and a fire lol
it wasn't major, all the insulation had to be replaced but that was about it
the bad part was the whole no-water-for-two-days and having to shower at my friend's place across town
yeah that story isnt as funny but i felt like sharing :)
welcome to vets!!
