It pains me to make mistakes that either harm myself or my home. After all, I assume I am bright enough to figure most things out. But just like the garden faucet issue, I find that this is not always the case.
Long story short: I managed to both graze my arm across the top of the firepit grate while the logs were actively burning, searing a swath of skin on my forearm and not remove the lid in time while the fire was at its hottest, causing the handle to catch fire and burn. I have since ordered new metal handles and my arm is healing, but these small things throw me off a bit. Did Mark ever make a mistake like this? Yes, he had scars from many things he did around the house. But he learned from those things and hopefully so will I!
