Simple job, no sweatxxxxxxxxx

[Pete999]

Did a job today for a chap simple job swap 3 lights for LED 4 foot batons, wire 5 13amp sockets 4 inside 1 external all in a garage, clipped direct, nice you would think.
Well it isn't so nice now, took me about 6 hours, by the time I was finished I was nearly in tears, not from problems, but from pain, in my: knees, back, thighs, hips, I was fitting the external socket, kneeling down on cold paving slabs trying to get the screws to take hold, never knew a Human could hurt in so many places, easing a bit now, after a couple of pain killers and a nice Cotes Du Rhone, so don't feel to badly for me will you, no urine taking, just thought I would let you all know how my day went, if you are interested, then again that's doubtful. Have a nice day Guys and Gals, I didn't

Any knee pads in Pete ?

When you are doing a one off job, which isn't going to make you that much money, and you didn't know I would be working on my knees, as most of the work would be at waist height, Knee pads didn't arise in the equation, anyway done and dusted now I will just have to endure the pain, and the ignominy of knowing that my days of crawling about fixing sockets are no longer viable, now where is me bottle of Vino? Thanks for the kind thought though Jim.

I must admit the body is complaining but the satisfaction I get from facing up to it is worth it.
Keep at it , don't let it get you down .
