Master Welder

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

I heard this on radio and happened to pass the house the next day.

the owner of the house was doing some welding on the roof of his house at Port Macquarie in NSW Australia. He had problems with his oxy tanks slipping so he decided to tack them to the roofing iron. that was the last thing he ever did.

as I said I passed the house the next day and there wasn't much left of the roof on that side of the house.

I assume "tack" here means "tack weld". With a reference this one has some merit.
