I was installing some metal shelving last night. Rosanne was busy and didn't have time to help so I decided to do it alone. I had one end of the first shelf sitting in a previous installed shelf as I was attaching the uprights. I had the first upright secured loosely with a bolt and was putting the nut on the inside of the second upright when the shelf I was installing slipped of the shelf holding it up. When the shelf folded my finger got between the shelf and upright, pinching it as if it were in a scissors. Fortunately I didn't lose the finger, but it took six stiches to sew it up
Sometimes what looks easy really isn't. Make sure you have help if you're not sure.

When You Least Exspect It
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Re: When You Least Exspect It
OW, glad it wasnt worse! ( says the guy that dropped a car on his arm and was pinned to the ground in the driveway for a half an hour
) you are right, always get some help!


better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it...( YES this includes CUBS! )

Wow !! Some accidents cant be foreseen. Glad your finger is still there. As one who has experienced loss of fingers just be thankful it was not more serious. Heal up soon.
