Well, yesterday was going pretty well. I did all but the last row of chinking on the one side. I was standing on the ladder about 6 Ft in the air, when the ladder started to fall backwards. I had my hands full of the EXPENSIVE chink loaded in the gun, but I let it all fall and I went with it. Good thing Wyatt was walking by. He tried to help catch me...haha I would smashed him like a bug, but he did break my fall. I thought I broke my foot and thigh, after I regained my composer and got over the initial shock of falling, I as hardheaded as I am ( its an Allemand birth right ) decided to call it a day and sleep on my wounds before going to the Dr. I tell you it scared me very much and was like in slow motion. Actually I think I scared Wyatt more than falling scared me. Blake had set the ladder up for me and I climbed right up before I even checked, and he had set it up backwards. I never noticed till I got to the top, then it was to late. That ladder is history at this house, its been a thorn in my side since we started using it, its one of those folding in different directions, all in one ladders. It's GONE!
UPDATE....Went to the Dr today( day after fall ), he said nothing was broken, just sprang and a possible torn/pulled muscle in my thigh. Have to stay off ladder now ( can't believe people think im to old for a ladder...Sigh...LOL ), Dr's orders...and Kelly's...LOL....Have to take a few days off to heal, but will be back to work soon enough. Heres a pic of the chinked side, well all but the top row is chinked...Looking good huh?
