When you think about it we are at risk as installers in many, many ways - makes ya think

You guys are making me feel better already - thx!

Could sit all night and tell install tales,

as could most, if not all members of the forum.

I've been quite lucky with pipes though, only had 2 nasty and 1 minor problems with them in all my time.

animals seem to cause most of my problems.

Once got pinned to the wall by the biggest great dane i've ever seen.

I thought my time had come.

also had a subs yorkie terrier bite the end of my boot and loose a tooth on the steel cap.

This customers d o g had been pinching my tools all day

Never had tools pinched, but did have poodle cook his leg and fill my tool box full of (you guess it) p**s

People dont expect there to be so much work involved, so it can be a bit embarrasing moving a bed accross a room to find the customers toy collection 

I couldnt look her straight in the face again,

Had simlar rich,

Once found a rubber suit and a large whip when moving a bed for a pa cable.

subs husband was poorly and was having difficulty speaking and moving,

she explained that he'd recently had a stroke.

I nearly choked on my coffee when she said that as several nasty visions swept through my head

I found a customers adult literature collection once. Slowed the job down a bit that did.

My customer yesterday had left his shot-gun on his bed... Finished up pretty quick there!!

The SDS can be a bit dangerous - my heart has stopped a couple of times when drilling out and then realising the customers car is parked right underneath 

LOL BMW M3 From inside house to garage 4 ft drill bit through door and into seat

All the confessions coming out now lol....

Anyone drilled through a wall and have half of the plaster fall off on the other side and had to do your own DIY repair quick smart?

Happened to me about 6 years ago - talk about panick

Working in POSH block of flats, SDS through wall - took out a chunk of plaster about 10 inches square right next to a large door alarm chime. Chime was just the right size to be moved over the hole! customer doesn't even know about it (yet).
