Didn't last long. Jan 30th there was a fire that started in some boxes at the back of my apartment. I'd placed some empty cardboard boxes near the garbage can to flatten. I heard a noise about 8 ish and went to see. Opened the back door to flames leaping as high as the door and all the way across. Needless to say I quickly shut it. Flames began to creep in above the door and ran to sink filled a couple of large glasses with water and tossed on the flames. Then raced to the phone and called 911.
Response time of local volunteer fire department was quick and the fire was extinguished rapidly and contained to one small room at the back of the apt. What I had there in the way of fabric and fat quarters were wet but I salvaged them all. The kits and patterns were in plastic boxes and most survived staying dry. A couple did get wet but I was able to dry them out and save them.
In reality I lost nothing of value and I was not hurt. There was no one at home in the other apartment.
I'm now staying with my granddaughter once again and waiting for the repairs to be finished so I can move back.
