For me, it's digging into a stack of sheet materials leaning against a wall that gets dangerous (aluminum, acm, acrylic, the heavy stuff). As long as you just pull them back far enough to stand on edge, you're great. If you lean them towards you, they'll usually slowly overpower you. I've seen a 300lb man get pinned as he insists he can handle the weight. The one that got me recently, I have a new guy, 5' tall and maybe 120lbs, he try to lean 18 sheets of lexan backwards for something behind, and they all came down on him. Luckily lexan is flexible enough that all that weight wasn't on him, but I heard a noise, ignored it for a second, then on second thought I jogged out to see him stuck there, trying to come up with a way to get out... without calling for help.Working alone, I'm always paranoid about cutting my hand off with the saw and bleeding out and dying
You hired Tex?I have a new guy, 5' tall and maybe 120lbs
Couldn't afford him, got the knock off 'mini-me' version, which is clearly twice the height it should be...You hired Tex?
Comes in handy when putting up ADA room identifiers.Now I see why you bought a lift. You can pick up heavy signs...... just not very high in the air.
I've used it topically - creams. It sorta works - but that may just be a placebo effect. Not sure.Sorry for reviving this thread. Anyone tried CBD for managing their pain, if any? Just a thought that crossed my mind and interesting to find what you guys think about it.
We just did 'room identifiers' at a behavioral health wing at the hospital. Typically we go ADA, raised copy, braille, the whole 9 yards. This one we were asked to do vinyl above the doors. My vinyl girl goes and locates each door with the contact at the hospital, who then leaves her in the ward. As she is installing, a patient is going around moving numbers on her, trying to 'help' her keep the numbers straight. She had to get a nurse to lock him up to keep her own sanity. Come to find out, they can have an exception to ADA, where the sign may be a liability, like a patient ripping them off the wall to, idk, maim somebody or put it in a different place. That's why we had vinyl only above the doors.Comes in handy when putting up ADA room identifiers.

sounds like a fun place to do installs, and a good place to meet girls.We just did 'room identifiers' at a behavioral health wing at the hospital.
