“Why do you wear safety glasses now?” Well this video was the last day we worked without them I believe. Once we switched to coil nails it was an automatic but this one was unexpected. I was filming laying out and cutting the barrel dormers and when I was cutting I saw a staples on pricing ticket on the plywood but whatever I have a saw. I cut through that wee little tag and wham right in the eye. Now i thought it was just plywood chunk that got me but I didn’t realize it was the staple stuck in my eye. Water did the trick luckily but every thing I was doing blinking and everything was horribly wrong. I had scratched the hell out of my eye and inside of my eye lid was cut up as well. Was on antibiotic steroid eye drops for a couple weeks after this. I was extremely lucky. Don’t be dumb and just wear the glasses. #framer #framing #eyes #safetyglasses #ppe #lucky #couldhavebeenworse #construction #residentialconstruction
