I have had a number of minor safety moments during the project - especially with the razor sharp inset kitchen sink from B&Q which took chunks out of me even though I was being careful - but they've been overshadowed by an event over the weekend.
Mrs Messy joined us to put up some curtains. She seemed to be rather stressed by the continual "dust everywhere" and "why have you done it like that" comments she was making - and she wasnt the usual calm person I know. Frankly, neither was I after hours of being a victim of her grumbling. Then when I was up a step ladder, she suggested I move the ladder sideways. I snapped in a husband type way

Gravity took over and off I fell from the ladder and down on the radiator and concrete floor below - ripping the radiator off the wall with my knee and elbow on the way. I decided to test the flat's sound insulation for a while with a string of rather loud Anglo-Saxon words before resting for a while with a couple of cold packs on my knee.
The result wasnt serious, but we've had to hastily arrange a removal company as I cant do that much heavy lifting of many stairs at the moment. I will take a management/supervisor role during his move today!!! Sadly I have also given up any hope of my post retirement work as a stuntman

The safety moment causes;
1.Too many people on the ladder!!!
2. Allowing my wife to 'help'
