Morning,

Leg is definitely getting better. Just the odd twinge driving the Spider yesterday. Great fun being able to heel-and-toe again :D

Another day in the office, tidying things up and knowledge transfer. Waiting for the client to pull the trigger on the next part of the project.

Have a great day all

Morning all.
Visit to my accountant this morning. Expecting a £4000 tax bill for 2017/2018. Hope he can get that down a bit?
Then off to put some plants in a friends garden. Finally a quiz tonight. Oh and some beer

Morning, early start, sat at my desk in Chi by 6am, left Eastleigh at 5:15...rush job on, out the door by 10am.

Nice to have MLC at our weekly curry event. A few away on holiday but a pleasant enough evening which is more than I can say for my guts this morning.

I am very much in pain right now!

Managed to forget the folding ladders this morning, didn’t realise till on site. So working feet at about 6 foot I was dismantling the net with an angle grinder, whilst standing on another part of said net, the intention being to cut back to the middle three ropes then drop them from the deck above, on cutting only the second rope it had unexpected results and pitched me over the side! So I rolled as I fell and landed flat on my back and left side shoulder first (still holding the spinning grinder). Fortunately the impact surface under did its job but I have Jarred my other side as my ribs impacted pelvis!

Those that know me will know I’m a big sod so that was not something I wanted to be doing.

Oh well, chalk that up to experience and remember the ladders next time.

Stupid short back!

Bloody **** Newton the thought of that angle grinder let loose with the potential consequences...
Recently heard of one of my more experienced foreman from my last employer has cut off his trigger finger and tops of the others. Couldn't save the finger. 63 years old. Thought better working without any RAMS or permit at the time too.

Ouch! Well, I'm very glad you and the angle grinder didn't come to blows. I have an exposed joist in my house with a large cut into it where a detached angle grinder blade embedded itself after spinning loose. My father-in-law has a corresponding chunk out of his left forearm which neatly marks the trajectory of that same blade on its way towards the ceiling.

Good luck with your ribs, shoulder and pelvis not being too troublesome.

I suppose on the upside you didn't explode a can of green spray paint into your face this time...
