The alarm system went off one morning - with the full force of sound and lights. Mel hurried to the garage to get the ladder to be able to be high enough to see how to take the cover off. When he came past the car, evidently the ladder caught the side of the bottom bumper of the car, and he was wearing "slide shoes"!
After hearing quite the commotion, I hurried to the garage and found Mel checking out the bottom bumper piece. I don't think he really knows what happened only that he was not upright in the garage with the ladder !!
Thankfully, Mel, the bumper, ladder and alarm system are all okay!! Quite the "fiasco" and no one was hurt!!
