Crappy Day

[WOODisGOOD]

When I moved into my new shop last year I built a room inside the warehouse to do covering work in. I used 2x4 for the ceiling. The room is 30 ft by 12 ft wide. There is room for storage up top of the roof but I only intended on putting foam up there. Well over the past year I found that I store just about anything up there, includeing other family members crap and the roof was starting to sag.Make a long story short I decided to replace the 2x4 with 2x6 and put in some insulation and an airconditioner.
I started removeing the 2x4 and remember tossing one down at the bottom of the ladder.I saw some nails sticking up and told myself to remember not to step on one. Well I ended up stepping right down on a 3" nail in the middle of my foot.I hopped into the office and got it cleaned up and put a bandade on it, then went back to work. I then managed to drop a 2x4 on my 9 ft glass top table that I use to cut covering on. Shattered that piece of glass. At least all planes are safe as I moved them to the other side of the shop.I decided to quit for the day and go home. Hopefully I can finish it tommorrow.

Should I get my plane covered somewhere else or are you getting another piece of glass?

hey man... at least you didn't DRILL into your foot!
I'm still healing from that.

Make sure it doesn't get infected.

PS: wheres the instruction manual disc fool!!!
I need it, to do it for ya!

Dam Tony sounds like you need a good crew of carpenters to help you out I just might know a few. Hope your foot feels better dude. Infection and that crap you can get from rust look out for.

Seriously need to hook you up with some quality construction work one of these days...lol.

[TheTank]

Sounds like me in the shop Tony! And people laugh when I tell them I am headed to the doctor to get my tetnus booster re-newed.

[snap a saurus]

Carpentry and model building are basically the same, stick building and sheeting.
Now stepping on a nail is something else.

[Oh Yeah!!]

At least you didn't get one in the forehead, like I did, with a nail gun and it was a 16d framing size nail.
If you haven't had a tetinus shot in the past five years, you might won't to go get one. Besides a nasty infection you could end up with LOCK JAW!!!

[wizard]

Tony it sounds like you have days like I do. Just take care of the foot. We don't want to have to amputate. Have a big cold relaxing drink tonight and tomorrow is a new day.

DAMN, I shot a 3" spike into my knee

[airborneSGT]

Ouch a framing nailer in the head It only took one sting by a nail gun doing finishing carpentry....that was enough for me to learn. Im still trying to picture that one in my mind? A lot of people take the safety of their nail guns. The new cordless guns are the heat.

Try jamming your thumb into a 203mm grenade launcher on accident. Oh yeah only took once for me to learn that one.

[GremlinX]

Thats the best thing... go home... I have those days.. sorry bought that.

Tony,
Get a Tetanus shot right away!
