One way to burn a house down.

No, I didn't do anything stupid and almost burn my house down.  I'm talking about this:

This is one of the basement windows, and that is lint from the dryer exhaust.  You can see the square shape of the exhaust on the left.

It was about 3 inches thick.  Plus they had a plastic window well cover over it and then they built a deck over the window! 

So glad they left the screen on the window...

Mostly clean now.  Some of the lint was stuck on to the bricks pretty good.

Got a whole 5 gal. bucket of lint out of the window, not to mention the mat of lint on the bottom (it's folded in half next to the bucket).

That's one way to burn your house down.
