[hstoke]

Had a bit of nightmare yesterday I'm refurbing a house up at mo I'd skimmed the kitchen ceiling the day b4 so just preparing the kitchen walls to be skimmed with bit bonding had a little left over so I thought oh few bits upstairs need doing in the bathroom above the kitchen ceiling so trowel n hawk in each hand i stepped to the left completely forgot about the floor board missing size 10 straight thru ceiling my right hand grabbed on to the old cistern nearly riping it off the wall. so I was wondering if you lads had a similar stories

I was waving an electric cable around in a kitchen refurb once, asking "so where do you need this cable coming out" as you do, after asking the sparky is the power off, little did we know the owner of the house had turned it back on to make a brew and the cable hit the gas pipe and blew a hole in it, was firing out like a blow tourch! I F*****g sh1t myself and legged it into the garden! The electrician just calmly went and turned the gas off at the mains always been wary of it since lol

I was doing a ceiling on my stilts and on the final go over I triped on my tarp sheet started to fall
So I stab my trowel into the ceiling to try and stablise myself and low and behold put a big f@@@ing hole in the ceiling...
Plus point I didn't fall over
Lol

I was working in a house with no floors down and I fell between the gap from a spiral staircase and the corner... sat there for an hour pissing blood on the carpet below in agony...

Waited for an hour for the plumber and the chippy to get back from their lunch, and the lifted me out :-(

Carried on for 6 weeks and was moaning about my wrist... found out I had broken it :-(

Fell off step ladder last year, elbow was killing me. Eventually went for x Ray thinking I must have broken it. Results showed a "possible" fracture whatever that is.
Good news was the previous broken elbow had "healed quite well".
What previous broken elbow ???

You have to be careful with Spanish archers

Without Spanish archers we can't do our job. So look after them as much as you can
