It's Just Not My Day......

[Paul.M]

.... Slept in, an hour late to pick up the "mate" (not a good start).

Later on showing him how to put up some door coach lights and drilling from the outside, this happened:-



Whoops :rofl:

Within an hour this happened:-



Yep,,,, that is my right leg hanging through the ceiling of the living room! I was looking up at the light fittings and not looking where I was walking! Think I may have to slip the plasterer a couple of quid to sort it out lol :rofl:


Enough is enough so we packed up and quit at 3pm. Tomorrow is another day

As an apprentice, I was working at a boarding school. We were rewiring the dorms, and brickies putting up some new walls. I was in the loft space, electrician below. As I stepped onto the joists towards the large loft hatch, I slipped falling thru the hatch. I managed to catch the edge of the hatch door, but the effect caused me to swing like a gymnast on bars, with my feet knocking over a recently laid block wall. Brickie tried to kill me. Electrician said I wasn't allowed in the loft anymore.

Following week, we were putting up some new light fittings in the sports hall. Electrician was in the loft space, to postion the wood battons for the lights, I was pushing the tower scaffolding around and screwing up the new lights. I had just got down off the tower to move the next position, when I heard a crash and a loud scream. Looked up and saw the electrician hanging from a hole in the hall ceiling, with him yelling to get the tower under him.

We never spoke about it!

Cored an 18" wall only to find I'd also gone through a 4" waste pipe, dead centre mind so out with a few bricks wrap a rubber gasket around pipe jubilee clip it, cement bricks back in & skim wall. also dropped in a bit of duct to save having to core in a new place.

Drilled through wall into a ply internal door that had been left open.

Cut plaster board for a back box & found the microbore pipework running diagonal across the wall.
