Do not get complacent out there!
Did a job yesterday large domestic with 3 conservatories.
Lady of the manner wanted all 3 conny roofs done this time round
Just finished the first and the largest roof and went back to check how it was drying
put my set of ladders against the side wall and climbed up a few rungs lent very slightly
to remove some small debris in the gutter and they went BIG TIME!
Ended up on the deck with both legs trapped.After a couple of mins of big pain I realised
I could move them both.Managed to get up and limp back to my truck.
Was feeling sick with the pain and sweating even though it was bloody freezing.
Had some cold water and sat in the passenger seat then fainted.
Awoke by the lady of the manor asking if I was OK she saw on her CCTV I had my legs out
of the motor and hadn't moved for a while!!
Scary to say the least.
I am nursing badly bruised shins and a very black big toe??
Yes I am wfp and only use ladders for access and conny roofs,etc
was trad for a few years so not a novice
So the warning is be careful out there or you could
have a nice couple of plaster casts or worse!
