Couple weeks ago I was replacing a section of my fence at my house. I put 1 screw in the fence board on the top runner just enough to hold it up so that I could get my gap and measurement correct at the bottom. As I was on my knees double checking some things, the 8' fence board fell straight back at me and the top edge hit me directly in the eye. Blood shot and swollen eye for a couple days right before I went on vacation with the girlfriend.

Built my footboard on my bed and when I flipped it back over to the front side to see my hard work, I realized I had the wrong length screws and I had about 20 screw points sticking out of the front of the footboard. This was a direct cause of me being fatigued from the heat and my brain wasn't working properly. I put all my shite down and went to the house.

It’s damned hot. That’s the nice thing about to being a hobby (unless you’re a pro). When you start screwing up and you are sufficiently sweaty and dusty, just pack it up and go inside.
