Didn't need a CO analyzer to figure out why this one was spilling (commercial water heater). Well done for sure.

    How the hell did a goose get in there? I've seen sparrows and chickadees in chimneys, but a goose? That's a new one...

    A neighbor called the gas company a few years ago because the old gas fired snowman smelled funny. When they inspected it they found the chimney blocked by a seagull that had hallen into it - it was a good sized bird.

    I figure it was sitting on the chimney trying to get warm and inhaled too much.

    A commercial water heater? Please tell me it was in a restaurant, because that would make this a much more funny story.

    Ha- unfortunately not, it was an apartment building. The weird part is this WH was tied in with another water heater and going into a masonry chimney. The goose got into the flue and past the 1st water heater all the way to the 2nd.
