ha ha, I delivered two bags of logs to a guy on the edge of the moors, no traffic for two days, no logs. so doing him a favour I battled through and got the logs to him, I reverse up a long drive that was a total white out and hit a wall under a snow drift.

 

He went ballistic, so I have to go back and spend 1/2 a day rebuilding this wall which is also a 24 mile round trip. :mad1:

 

You should have been a bit quicker thinking put on the barney and said arh sorry mate wrong house hopped back in the truck and done a runner! :001_smile:

Yeah in hindsight is was lazy, should have seen the wall was in a poor state. But I did not feel like I was taking much of chance as the chunk was going to land so far from wall and thought all the multi-stem limbs would break the fall. If honest I was in a rush to get finished as I had another job to get done before sundown.

 

I don't want to seem harsh but most accidents occur when peeps are rushing , as I have got older I have found that rather than rush dangerously , most things can wait for another day.
