I don't understand why it's so hard to relight my boiler. It's almost like it's underwater or somthin. I picked up some matches at a restaurant. They had the name of the restaurant on them but I figered that should be okay. If I strike a match and it falls then all I hear is a sizzle and then nothing. I pick it up and it's like wet or somtthin. I figered restrant matches would be easier to grip on to . So, what shoujld I be usidng to lighj my boiler cause a warm shower could be gooder than my cold ones.
Here's what I'[m working with.

Yeah, I know, it's a bit wet where it's sitting. I was planning on fixing the roof, but then the ground was getting lower than waht I wanted it to be and stuff.

I'm waiting for new doors and window for this. It's really not as bad as it looks. My neighbors make fun of me, but then I think their payments are higher than mine. And it doesn't reain all the time, like not alwasy.

I do like my walkway though. Not for a car though. But I can ride my bike on it.

I do not think it would have passed the 5 year hydro-static test
