Step Ladders... Yep I fell

[Danny]

So building my garden office I have been using a tower and all is well but I was too lazy to move the tower and instead used a set of steps...

After a few minutes on them I am thrown off them and land on my back on to of them...

I have hurt my back my wrist is not broken but severe soft tissue damage and I gave myself whiplash... Oh and for good measure I stuffed my impact driver into my sturman ( I think thats what you call it)

Looks a sore one ! At least you didn't break it !

 

[paulf]

That's a sore one mate, hope you heal quickly.
On the bright side @John j will take those steps off your hands for a tenner, give him a couple of weeks to save up for them.

Well I have zero sympathy.
Desk jockeys should leave the building work to the professionals.

Get a pair with stabilisers until you learn to use them.
