I did a little job today in that I replaced the rope around the fire door and glass. The glass is held in by 4 bolts and a piece of metal that sits up against the glass. Top two took a bit of coaxing but with the help of the impact driver they loosened. Bottom two we’re an absolute sod. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain below my right eye.
Turns out this tiny bit of metal had sheared off and took off like a bullet…
Can you guess who wasn’t wearing eye protection. To be honest I generally don’t when I am screwing or unscrewing something. Maybe I should start.
Sadly no painting tonight as everything was aching.
Hopefully I will get on with it tomorrow!

Oooh, lucky! 🙂 Maybe eye protection wouldn’t go amiss when an impact driver’s involved!

You’re Lucky! I always (or nearly…) use eye protection when tangling with such chores… Take care!

Ouch a close call there. As a glasses wearer I rarely bother with eye protecting- I probably should. To be honest if I think something has a chance of pinging off I just cover it with my hand to catch it/ let it stick into it… probably not the best plan either.
Cheers,
Pete.
