Well my experiences are not as scarey as some mentioned , but it took me 6 months to recover from a fall off an 8' ladder while filling a deer feeder i rigged to throw the feed in one direction.
After clamping the lid back on the 55. gal. drum i took one step down the ladder , shirt caught one of the clamps holding the lid on and we all went backwards toward the ground . As i was falling i managed to push the feeder away from me but hit the ground real hard .
Now have a real fish feeder I can fill without a ladder !
Oh ! have had to tie the mower off to my house deck to keep it out of the pond while waiting for help to pull it up the bank .
Also pulled the mower out of the pond with my truck once .
Just can't keep from trying to mow to close to the waters edge . Maybe i will learn someday ?
Have thought about renting heavy equipment for odd jobs but you guys have changed my mind , will hire it done.
Thank God none of you were hurt ! Harvey
