Here’s reasons no. 1, 2 and 3 for never ever cleaning cobwebs off your house with a blowtorch:
Authorities said Galen Winchell set fire to his home on Smith Road in Sargent around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday as he cleaned cobwebs from exterior eaves with a blowtorch. Winchell noticed the blaze when he saw smoke pouring from the attic.

He must seen the movie Arachnophobia and decided fire would the best way to get rid of the spiders.

How many cobwebs could he possibly have on the outside of the house? What a retard.

The one thing I’d really like to know is why no one ever informed me about WGCL’s weatherperson Dagmar Midcap and her exciting diet. This story will require more investigation.

I’m not sure what his biggest mistake was.
1. Burning cobwebs with a blow torch.
Or
2. Not lying about it…
I’m sure stupidity is not covered in his insurance policy!

gauldar: I don’t it… I am pretty sure he solved his cobweb problem.

It was suppose to say:
I don’t know… I am pretty sure he solved his cobweb problem.

Wow. He must be pretty darn stupid to try to use a BLOW TORCH on the cobwebs that are on your HOUSE.

Well, here’s the reasoning. The eaves themselves are likely metal, and there would have been very little exposed wood. It’s probably not the first time he’s done it, so he thinks he knows what he’s doing. He accidentally gets too close to something flammable, and the rest is history.
I’m sure he won’t be trying that again.
