I have been down in my basement today, well all day as of yet.. Darn water pipe broke off and needs to be fixed.. So I go and find my little torch and solder and flux and such. This took 20 min :mad: OK Back own into the basement Only to bash my freaking head off the furnace duck work. So I site in one place for about 5 min so I don't inflict and more damage to my Brain then I all ready have :shock: Ok I get up and start to gather my stuff to start fixing this little copper water pipe and look over and see this giant spider looking at me, the thing is about 5 inches from my face. So I jump back and hit my head on the furnace pipe one more time and drop the propane tank on my big toe.. Are you kidding me.
Well the spider is dead,my head hurts and my toe hurts and the water line still drips..
:mad:

LB,

Thanks!! Your post makes my day, as bad as my day is, it seems like a walk in the park compared to yours.

While I know of your pain, been there done that, sometimes it helps to know that I am not alone in my painful walk through life. (Yes i AM very AWARE that I am not alone as a believer)

I agree with Francois, bar first and pipe later.

I felt like that last time I changed the fuel filter on my truck. There's nothing like gasoline running down your arm into your armpit....

Oh the joys of home ownership. Painfully familier with what you're talking about.
