Trip to the ER

[duc dowg]

Today at 12:00 I was going up some pull down stairs. They broke I fell about 12 ft then rolled down the steps to the basement. I didnt break anything but got some brused ribs and a very sore rt leg.

Glad to hear you're allright. At 240#, I don't much care for those attic pull downs. Espectally when you're going up them and you see the tag that says "Screw here" and there's no screw!

OUCH! Sorry man,..that remindes me of one I did, this lady directs me to her boiler, she says its in the bedroom on the other side of my big bed. She says you got to climb over my bed to get to it, go ahead I dont mind. So I go, and sure enough, her bed touches both walls and to get to the other side I got to go over the top. I sit on the bed and flip my legs over the side with my tool bag over my sholder and drop down a hole in the floor about 8-10 feet to a vault that the boiler was in. She neglected to tell me it was in a concrete crypt and she already took the hatch off the 2x2 hole in the floor directly on the other side of her bed.

We were at an install two days. An hour before we where done the HO steeped on the stairs to the basement and they collapsed. He hit pretty hard but got up and got a rickety old wooden ladder to finish the job. It was shakey and his wife sugested doing something different. He hit the basement floor twice because he didn't listen to his wife.

I almost chopped off my baby finger on an rtu, in the cond fan, wrapped it in a rag and elec tape, finished up and went to ER for stitches. Not the first time I done stupid things like that, probably not the last.
Heal up man, and be careful.

Why did you have your baby on a roof with you? Or did you mean your little finger?

when the meds wear off
those pull down attic stairs should be outlawed, or guaranteed to hold 1000lb,

or two 200lb men and an air handler shifting their weight, grunting and groaning and busting their balls.

And inspected by the HVAC contractor.........

glad you're ok..........now get back to work...
