A mirror, a big one that needs att!

Thankfully you got rid of that gawdy thing.

 Yeah but here's the funny part He still wants me to salvage the half that survived, cut it and install it
 I shook my head and told him to go hire another guy His money is green but it doesn't look too good with blood all over it

Glad you're OK. Just read my earlier post where I envisioned that thing crashing down on you.  This is not a good time, nor am the type of guy, to say "I told you so".  So I won't.   Nothing to do now but clean up that mess and chuckle at your good fortune.

Gotta ask...how was there a piece that survived? I'd a made sure there was nothing left but shards. The guy is lucky some tenant didn't get sliced up with it coming down on them. You did him a favor getting just a cut on the hand. IMO

I'da made sure there was nothing left to even resemble the mirror, even the little pieces gone then ask him which mirror he was talking about.

 Yup, my first thoughts were to take the hammer and finish it off but he was somewhere on site so I thought twice about it
 When the mirror came down it shattered but as the last half was falling it went sideways and jammed in to the wall and hit the landing at an angle. I'm pretty sure if it came all the way down my arms would've been sliced as I had my hands at shoulder height.
 Doc, here's the funny thing about that morning. I had this gut feeling that this was going to happen so I took my wife in with me in case I needed her to call the meat wagon
 She was at the top of the stairs and boy did she panic
 She kept screaming "where's the phone, where's the phone?" The whole time she had it in her hand

After she found the phone, she might have been screaming "what's the number to 911?"

       Thats a close call to me ... Sure glad you got out of that with just a scratch.

 Thanks Marcel That's the first time in eighteen years that I've ever had an accident on the job site Did flip my dune buggy once though after work and had a full cast on for 8 months

 Kansas, I think she has a direct line as she's on average in hospital about 25 times a year
