It's amazing what a wine cork can do.

You are probably wondering what I am talking about? Allow me to explain.

 

My furnace got fix on Monday and when I got home Monday night I notice there was a smell in my laundry room. I figure that my furnace was smelly because it just got service they normally put a deodorant spray in my furnace to make my house smell good so I figure they probably forgot. It was late anyway I did my 30 min works out, took a nice long bath and went to bed.

 

Yesterday morning when I was leaving the house I noticed that the smell was still there so I open a window in my laundry room to try to air it out.

When I got home last night the smell was still there so I went in my house to see if my house smelled to and there was no smell in house.

 

I knew something was not right so I got in my car and got far away from my house. I called my parents to let them know what was going on. Then I called my local electric company (Ameren) and told them I think I may have a gas leak because my laundry room smelled like gas.

 

 

Within 10 min Ameren was at my house. Dale was the guy they sent (which was very cute by the way) Dale first looked at my furnace and there was no signal but when he got to my washer and dryer guess what? There was a signal! By this time I was at my back door ready to run! Dale found the leak and he asked me how long have I been living here? I told it will be 5 years in February then he asked me to come over there because I had to see this.

 

I walked over and I see the wine cork being used as a plug in the gas line! I said “What the F*ck is that a F*cking cork?!” Dale took out the cork and was able to fix it the right way. The picture above is the cork. A million things was going thru my mind after he left. The first thought was how did the home inspector missed this and how long has it been like this? So I had a couple glasses of wine last night but I couldn’t sleep my nerves were too bad

Today I am doing better and I am thankful to be alive. When I get to the day care I am going to give the day care kids a big hug!

 

God is Good!

 

Thank you for reading.

LOL I should have used Put a cork in it as my title!

Sounds like somebody took the expression "Put a cork in it" way too literally! Glad y'all found it before somebody got hurt. :)

It was werid because I had no head or anything. I think because my laundry room is sorta seperate from my house and the only thing I have gas in my house is my furnace. But Trust and believe I will be buying a gas detector.

That's CrAzY! It's a good thing that you had the good sense to call for help. You could've blown up the house or spilled your wine! (just kidding) I'm glad you're okay.
