[TheForge] Murphy strikes again. But fails!

[Grover Richardson]

That's sort of like old Southern houses.  Kitchen was in a different
building away from the home.  Too many fires<G>.

Older homes, the fireplace was made of wood and clay.  It was leaned away
from the house on sticks.  That way if you had a stack fire, you ran
outside, kicked the sticks away, ran like all get out, and the chimney would
fall away from the house<G>.
