jimmy Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Back at work today after 4 days off trying to finish off my garage conversion (hence the reason for the big shed earlier this year). Anyway still waiting for the roof tiles to be fitted and with very heavy rain forecast I stapled a load of tarpaulin over the sarking last night. Obviously not enough cos I got a call from the good lady saying water was coming in and soaking parts of the newly fitted plasterboard, Pop into screwfix and get some more tarps says I. Half an hour later I get a call from the wife stating she had fell off a ladder and her hand landed on an upturned sawblade. I'm just back from hospital where she has been taken into theatre with suspected tendon damage. Bugger...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Just called the ward and she is back from surgery. The nurse says she is doing well but she couldn't tell me the extent of any damage or otherwise to the tendons I have a breathable membrane on the sarking (£250 a roll, I only bought £50 worth off my mate tho), but the top of the windows arent sealed yet. Needing the tiles fitted so I can set the height of the bargeboard and soffits and although cavity trays have been fitted there are no tiles to dress the lead into yet. It was just the driving wind that has forced the rain in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dt502001 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 She sounds like a tuff girl,glad she will be ok ..tendon dammage can be real tricky sometimes they shrink when they heal You know she's going to bust your balls about the blade being left and rightfully so,didn't your mom teach you to put your toy's away when your done playing with them. Best be making her as comfee as possible when she gets home, , the next 10-15 day's are going to be a real PITA for her untill it heals. You said she fell from the ladder anyother dammage?
