Being fat saved my life
My dad is renovating his house at the moment which is great cos it means I have to help him every weekend. It’s a massive job. We’re taking the roof off, building some dormers and then putting the roof back on. Lowering the ceilings on the second floor so it gives us more head height in the loft rooms and tons of other stuff which I’ll keep you up to date with.
So what was the task for this weekend? Well we needed to get into the loft and kick the ceilings down from above so we can put in the new ceiling joists in. A dusty, horrible job that is quite dangerous…so dad says “be careful son, make sure you don’t step on the roof anywhere other than on the joists…” I say “yeah dad no worries….arrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhh” See photo…
Wedged
Luckily, my belly wedged me solidly between the joists and stopped me from falling through and seriously injuring myself. I was so wedged in fact that instead of helping me, my mate Craig had plenty of time to take photos…wanker. Anyway, I am now de-wedged so it’s all good. Roll on next weekend…joy.
haha, I shouldn’t laugh but this is something right out of a comedy sketch. Glad to hear that nothing got damaged, other than the roof and possibly your ego
It’s ok to laugh, it was bloody funny to be honest. Ego can be repaired a lot quicker than the roof luckily…lol.
What can I say?? Once I realised that the heavens were not falling down, or a plane had crashed into the house, I was quite surprised by the site of a pair of dangling feet.
Once I realised it was Jon, by the shoes or was it the sentence full of swearwords? Or was it the fact his dad was vocally expressing his anger towards him??? I can’t remember, I decided the only way to sum the moment up and to ridicule him in front of all our mates down the pub would be to take a photo on my phone.
Oh well Jon nothing like mates to help you out in a time of need?!
ha ha ha! I was having my house re-wired a few years ago and I told the electrician to leave the floorboards up in the spare room, nobody would be going in there and it would save him some work at the end of the day and in the morning. I had to go in to retrieve something out of a cupboard and was nattering away to a friend and stopped concentrating and put my foot through the floor. I had a big black bruise all around my thigh. No pictures of me though!
