How I Accidentally Set My Lawn On Fire

Thanks for Voting on My "Copywriting Battle Book Part #1"

The Grass I Piled Next To Drive-Way Caught Fire

Dear Friend,

Thanks for going, "YAWN" at my Burnt Grass Photo.

But the burnt area of grass is bigger than it looks. The black area is 30 feet long and 10 feet wide. And the Flames were leaping chest High.

I Guess You Had to BE There.

Here is THE REASON WHY this LAWN FIRE Happened to me.

The Domino Effect

FIRST Our Country Road was Resurfaced. Smooth as a Babies Bottom.

NEXT Cars Started Going 60 mph instead of 30 mph

OF COURSE when it rains Cars Slide off the Road.

RESULT?

We have had 2 Telephone Poles Destroyed in 6 Months. Meaning: No Power for 24 to 48 hours.

Naturally I Started Hunting for Advice from "The Experts."

Bearded,

Tough Looking,

Scary Looking men who live "OFF -- THE -- GRID."

SOON I was on YouTube -- watching a guy baking Bread in a Caste Iron Dutch Oven. Using nothing but Camp fire Coals.

Over a Loaf of Slightly Charred Bread, MR EXPERT offered us Viewers some Advice.

A FREE And EASY Method for Patching the Cracks in an Asphalt Drive Way.

This Rascal Did Not Have an Asphalt Driveway.

In Fact...

He didn't appear to Have Any Paved Driveway or sidewalk outside his shack at all.

OF COURSE I HAD to Try It.

Mr Expert Said, "My Buddy assures me this works every time. It's Like Magic.

HIS METHOD?

Scoop Live coals and ashes out of your FirePlace. And Pour them over the Cracks in Your Driveway.

And I Did Just That.

But One of these LIVE COALS Must have Squirted out from under my foot. Cuz I was Jumping Up & Down. Gotta Tamp it all down, you know.

And

I

Forgot.

That every summer I rake extra Grass over next to my driveway. To Save me from Having to Trim Next to the road. Huge Piles of grass block weeds from growing.

Saves me WeedWacking Work!

BUT MAKES a DANDY good Fire!

I had to Run to the Garage. Get a Shovel. And start Smothering Flames In a Jiffy.

IF

YOU

LOOK

CLOSE you can See my FootPrints in the Black Grass. YUP the Fire was burning so fast I discovered I was STANDING in FLAMES.

Maybe that is Where the Term HOT FOOT comes from.

I Know You are Thinking, "DID THE CHEAP PATCH JOB WORK?"

YES BUT...

As You Can IMAGINE -- My Expert didn't give us Any Details. So after several months of Testing Here is my Advice.

#1 -- Sweep Dirt out of the Cracks first. (DUH)

#2 -- I Filled a lot of Cracks with Ash. Most Washed Away.

#3 -- What Worked and is Still there after 90 days of hard Rain. Is the Patch -- You Can see in the PHOTO at the top of this Note. When you Pile Burning hot Coals onto a crack in The asphalt it MELTS in there Tight.

It's Not Pretty.

It's very dirty.

And it's slow. A Chimney full of hot ashes don't go far.

And It might not be Permanent.

BUT THE PRICE is Right.

Nada, Zero, Nuthin'.

And...

Who knows.

You too Might Have an "ADVENTURE!"

And you can Write ME About it.

Thanks,

Glenn Osborn
