When I was a kid, my parents had a space boiler downstairs in the kitchen.
- It was cold all of the time during winter.
The property did not have undoubtedly good insulation, and sometimes there was ice inside of the property on the window. There was never any snow on top of the property due to the loss of heat. The roof was really warmer than the rest of the property due to heat rising. Snow frequently melted off the roof and ended up down on the ground. My buddy and I had a lake of water in the front yard. My parents used space heating systems to keep the property warm. There was a space boiler in the kitchen. The space boiler was one of the giant machines that had red coils that get harshly hot. One time my sibling touched the coils and she ended up with a immense burn on the back of her hand. On one recognizable night, everyone was asleep. Our pet was downstairs as usual, however this time she decided to get into mischief. The pet was playing around and accidentally knocked over the space boiler in the kitchen. No one knew about the accident until the carpet caught on fire. My parents woke up in the middle of the night when they stinked smoke. My buddy and I didn’t have any type of smoke detector or fire alarm in our property back then. My buddy and I got out before anyone got hurt and my dad put out the fire before it burnt down the whole house. That was one of the scariest situations that I have ever faced in my whole life.
