day worker 296 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Well I needed to waterproof a wall in this farmhouse we were working on. But first I needed to remove centuries of paint! I was having most success chipping it of with a scutch hammer! All that happened was I caught an old rusty nail and it span off into my eye! Luckily rather than it hitting straight on it went in and down the side so it hasn't effect my vision! I was told by the surgeon that if it had been a millimetre deeper it would have pierced the second layer and I would have been in deep sh*t! I urge everybody not to take any risks with your health! You might feel a little uncomfortable or you might look a bit of a nob but what's worse? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brewman 1,192 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Good to hear you're ok. That's one thing I wear is goggles even when they're filling up with sweat. The eyes are to fragile to feck with. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
