rob s asked:


My dad was killed by carbon monoxide poisining in a garage that had a water heater leak..now that im home for the holidays im forced to use our garage as a spare bedroom…im really paranoid about sleeping in there…we had a carbon monixide detecter but my brother broke it when my family moved here…so what do you guys think?
theres no windows at all in the garage…the thing is ive slept in here in the past without any problems..but now that the weather is getting colder we are using the heater and its just freakin me out knowing its being used…also could i just keep the door open that leads to the garage from inside the house because thats the only thing i can open besides the garage door itself
