If you get that feeling you are dangerously close to losing conciousness and being fatally overcome. Could be, my bud didn't think I was bad enough to go to the ER but who knows, it was twenty years ago iirc... Took a couple of hours to feel better in the fresh air that much I do remember. Never worked around a salamander type heater again after that, no matter what the boss said. ===== What is a "salamander type heater"? I remember them as a fairly tall cylindrical space heater, fired by kerosene. I remember them because when my father built his retail store, he used a couple of them to help cure the concrete floor, which was poured in the winter. I was just a little kid, but I do remember them being referred to as salamanders. They were operated before the showroom glass was installed...the store was open to the elements where the windows and doors would go. They gave off a hell of a lot of heat. -- Want to discuss recreational boating and fishing in a forum where personal insults are not allowed? http://groups.google.com/group/rec-boating-fishing- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - My gyproc installing in-laws had a few... i remember one being left in my new Cape Cod style house to help dry the drywall mud in January/ February of 1976. The one I remember was more like a yellow torpedo..noisy fan blown hot air and burning kerosine oil as fuel. Of course that was 35 years ago.... they may be different now. I remember a bathroom heater my great aunt had when I was about 4 or maybe 5. It had coils on it that looked like the electric coils inside a toaster oven. If I remember correctly, she only used it during the winter and then only when she was taking a shower. She would hit the on/off button before she got in the shower, by the time she got out it was nice and toasty. Those were some good memories. Good memories? Your great aunt in the shower? |
