Tripping over own hose
« on: November 23, 2005, 06:43:29 am »
Is tripping over your own hose a Health & safety issue?
20 years working up a ladder,man & boy,never once fell off- 2 weeks with the poles & already tripped over twice!!

I know I'm not likely to kill myself tripping over the hose or any other gerden object but with all my cold weather clothing on if I fell in a pond I'd sink not swim!! :o

Thought about fixing a small mirror to the underside of my baseball caps beak-so when I'm lookind UP , I can also look down. :-\

Genius or what. ::)

Try fixing them on a crash helmet if your accident prone  :) along with the steel toecaps and knee pads !

My main problem with the hose is when I'm rewinding it back into the van the last bit always gets wrapped around my feet. I can be seen cursing at it as I try to free myself, which sometimes takes longer than you would like as people walk past smilling at me.
The secret is not doing as you like but liking what you do
