   |  Fell through floor at work today... Well almost. I am a tile setter and was tearing out the bottom of a shower today. I was tearing out the walls, about 8" off the floor. I romoved the floor, the walls concrete and then the old lead pan. Got everything out and the subfloor looked ok, WRONG! I stepped in the shower to start cleaning the rest of my mess and my left foot went through the floor! My leg went all the way through up to my waist and I almost went all the way through to the basement, which was about 10' to the concrete floor below. Man I got lucky today! |
