Snagged a a screw

The Tuul Crib

Dang! Well things are going so good today with the work I'm doing on my deck behind my house. At one point I was pulling on a piece of wood the next point I was running in the house dripping everywhere and ended up having to go getting seven stitches on my finger in the right hand. Have been so careful not to step on anything sharp or leave any nails laying around on the ground but failed to see one in my way. Dang!!

Sorry to hear about this.:( It's easy to get injured when your working. I once drilled a hole in my finger with a 5/16" bit & didn't even notice it until I saw blood around my work area. Too intent on my job at the time I guess. :confusion-shrug:

 

Hope it heals up fast.

Any time I come in the house with a rag wrapped around a bleeding appendage the wife just rolls her eyes and says "you don't have to get your money's wort out of Medicare that badly, do you?"    :ychain:

Hope it heals up soon.

Sounds like SWMBO. I think sympathy is something she doesn't understand. Except for the grandchildren. :rolleyes:

You up on your tetanus shot?

 

Luckily never had to have stitches.. There have been time where I probably should've, but electrical tape works pretty well.

You also need to watch your head when working on Wheel Horse tractors on the garage floor !  Installing equipment on the frame when you have to tighten or loosen nuts and bolts on the frame etc can be injurious to your health!

Ouch! I know that one had to hurt. When I did appliances I would crawl under sinks to disconnect the dishwasher and would constantly knock my noggin! I thought about a hardhat but It would just get in the way!!

My buddy stopped over yesterday, told me about his “bump cap” insert for baseball caps.  It seems like a great idea for any hat!
