Ever damaged anything at work?

At the end of the day it's why I have PLI.

Is that cos you're a liability Andy? Hahaha 😛

View attachment 83459 for years I've been alright and not damaged anything, then the other day, I was sweeping up on a Friday and literally just touched the brush on the kitchen door and did this, cost me £95 to buy a new larder door, gutted!
It came off far too easily but that's life.

Something very similar today.......I was down on all fours today looking to see if a recently fitted basin vanity unit could be easily removed prior to me tiling a bathroom floor or if I had to cut around it.
Spotted a big chunk gouged out of one of the doors when I was down there.....not taking the rap for that one!

The plumber I work with dropped a mirror on a 3.5k wash basin.
I'll try and get a pic off my phone. It made me laugh anyway...

And the mirror survived?

Does this include pride? Haha

Hahaha Rays post gave me a chuckle...reminded me when I scratched a stainless steel end on a worktop pulling out a range cooker, customer made me replace it, so when it was time to lift cooker back in I rang him and got him out of work to come and help...so I'm lifting and pushing the back edge of the cooker and he opens a door to lift n push, shattered all over his arm..my fault he says, erm yes, I'll leave you with that then...goodbye 🙂

I was working late on my own to get a bathroom finished before the client came over. About 10.30 at night, on my own, just running my metal straight edge over some render and managed to short it out on the light switch that I had dangling out of it's box. I woke up in the corner beside the toilet in pitch black. Stumbled to the fuse board turned the electric back on and decided to call it a day. The next morning I saw that the straight edge must have flown out of my hands and chipped a lump out of the €500 shower tray. Luckily I managed to fill it but take a bit more care around electrickery now!
