Fucking hell Ken, you maniac! Next time make a drone to fly up there or something. Glad you're not dead, by the way.
Oh my. Hope you'll be back to working order soon.
I'm not scared of heights but I don't feel safe working on ladders. Always feel like one wrong move and I'll be dead. Get your quadcopter to clean them out next time.
Yeesh - hope you're on the mend.
Meanwhile, why hasn't anyone invented a drone that can clean gutters? I was seriously considering it a while back, since I live on the top floor of a three-storey building. Quadracopter which lowers a little bulldozer into the gutter, and picks it up when it's done.
Mend soon ken. And broken your back in two places? Just avoid those places in future ;)
Was it a quadcopter? Did it take you for a swim?
It would probably be better to make self-cleaning gutters, with flamethrowers or boiling acid.
Gutters don't break people's necks. Dumbass clown-footed people break people's necks.
That's nothing. I was tightening up a caliper retaining bolt when the socket slipped off the nut and I punched myself full in the face. Got a right big egg on my forehead.
Only an 8 foot drop? No wonder you Mericans wear all that padding when you're trying to play rugby.
Take this as a lesson, though. You're not supposed to do that kind of stuff yourself. You're supposed to get an immigrant to do it for you.
Get well soon, though. And make sure you use it as an excuse for getting out of just about anything. "Empty the dishwasher? Are you mad, woman? I've got a broken back!" "No, I couldn't possibly go to that meeting. I've broken my back." etc etc
See, this is why I don't use ladders. :C
