When working with wood and nails, wear safety shoes!
3 years ago
General
Just one brief thing to say.
If you work with wood that has a lots of nails in it, make sure you wear shoes with some safety meassurements, like a steel plate inside or anything to prevent a nail going up your foot...like it did for me today. Worked at the renovation of our house next door to the one I currently live in. Ripped out a lot of wodden planks, to cut them up into firewood. Lots of them had nails inside and I did not watch out for a second and boom, when through the shoe and up my foot.
Don't worry, it did not go in deeply. Though I just noticed my Tetanus shot was about 10 years ago, so on monday I will get a booster shot for that.
So yeah. When working in such an environment, make use of all the safety gear you can get!

I stepped on a nail once as a pup and it went diagonal into the shoe so I had no idea it was living in there for a month lol
Stepped on a nice thick rusty carpentry nail, went all the way through my tiny baby foot, walked around with it until the pain became unbearable maybe an hour later, was rushed to ER and got my first tetanus shot. Made me cry harder than the nail.
That's how you form life-long memories lel
