1833...Do It Yourself And Save

Just flipping through the Brisbane Courier-Mail and I come across this brilliant article:

POLICE were surprised to be called out to a housefire in the early hours of Tuesday morning at Thornlands in Redland City.

It is believed the blaze began in the ceiling of the house in Champagne Crescent after a man installing foam and cardboard for insulation dropped his cigarette.

The middle-aged man and his father escaped unhurt but his mother suffered a burn to her arm.

When fire officers arrived the blaze was well alight, and it took about half an hour to extinguish the flames.

A Department of Community Safety spokesperson said the house was destroyed by the fire.

It is not considered suspicious.
