Slev. Your dad just experienced the reason why minimum clearance to anything remotely considered combustible, (including sheet rock, for instance) is at least 18", often more.
It is to compensate for the accidental over firing of the appliance.
I strongly suggest you find the install manual for the appliance, and follow the spacing requirements to the letter. I suggest this because I'd hate to see real damage, like a burned down house happen to your family.

Everything around here has to be approved by some sort of authority, furnaces in particular, but his is ok.
The manual is long gone, I think he burned it, the furnace is from around 1980 or so, there's no chance you could put in a beast like that today.
Thanks for your concern though, and I did tell him to be careful with that thing, but you know what they say about old dogs eh.

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!
Me? Impressive? Really? Oh wait, of course I am. Not sure how or where, but definitely impressive!!!!
Nope, do not do parties. No way!!!

Well, converted a critical database at the tank place to a new format for them over the weekend. Another "expert" they hired was to convert the clients served by it. Wandered into a firestorm about 9 this morning. Had the mess cleaned up by noon.
Then the service man for the alarm system in the paint shop arrived. He didn't believe me when I told him his panel had power, dead batteries, and was functionally equivalent to a penny. He found that it had been destroyed by a power surge. Took out a telephone circuit also. I fixed the phones and he swapped out the panel. Only dropped air in the shop for about 5 minutes. We patted each other on the back. Phones weren't hurt too bad. A Panamax surge module had sacrificed itself to protect the KSU.
Hey Stan,
I read the Santa Clause engineering report to my kids and grand kids.
Dang, it's cold in the dog house.

About them dogs, a couple of weeks ago there was a story in the news about a woman who was attacked by a man while she was walking her dog, he came from behind and knocked her to the ground.
Luckily her dog was well trained, it attacked the guy and bit him in his arm so hard he had to punch it in it's face numerous times before it let go.
The thing about the dog is, it's half rottweiler and half great dane, basically a small horse with sharp teeth, if you're dumb enough to pick a fight with that....
I don't know if the police ever found him, but maybe he learned a lesson.
Grabbing a cup of this black stuff and moving on.

Home. Still chilled. I have blend door issues of which came from the foam wrap coming off of the heater treater doors I put in awhile back. One motor stripped, one half of lower follower door broken and who knows what else.

I'd like to find who ever gave me this cold or whatever it is. I've been coughing so hard my sides hurt.

I bet they could sell the heck out of them to guys who just don't want to have to deal with it again.
I know I would pay a fair price for a replacement under dash unit that I didn't have to worry about every few years.........
