Default What home repairs are you most Afraid of?

Probably my most accidents over the years were stepping on f##king
nails. I learned to NEVER leave boards with nails laying around. I
remove the nails or bend them over. But just a few years ago, I was
helping someone demolish a shed, and he left a naily board on the
ground with a piece of drywall on top. I stepped there and that damn
spike came thru the drywall and right into my foot. I came close to
punching that guy after ripping that nail out of my foot. I had
clearly told him to remove nails, or stack boards with nails in a
pile. (I did not punch him, but I did not help him finish the job
either, since I spent the following week staying off my painful foot
and watching tv).


A friend parked his car where someone had dumped a pile of used lumber. The
friend was working his way around it in the dark and stepped on the end of a
board. The other end swung up, and a nail in it stuck firmly into his forehead.
Fortunately, the ER was only 1/4 mile away.


Just thinking about this is painful !!!!!!!
