Put my foot in it

Yup, you guessed it, fairying about in a customers bungalow attic trying to drag some 10mm about for a shower, stepped back and half of me entered the lounge, my pants, well the missus said she could sort them out with some vanish and a hot wash!

Got a shade more making good to do than I thought!

Presume it was plasterboard, if lath and plaster you can't get your leg out again , the laths dig in .

Touch wood have never done that had a few close calls but lucky so far. A chap I went to school with started helping a plumber and he thought you had to walk on the bits between the joists didn't work with that plumber for long.

I was on a site and the plumbers had a habit of pulling up all the boards on the landing. I stepped off the top stair without looking with rolls of cable in one hand and heavy toolbox in the other. wedged between joists, freshly artexed celing smashed through, grazed all the way from knees to hips. Anyone rush to my aid to see if I was injured? no chance, anyone try and help me out? no. Sympathy? not a chance. For ages people would sing "ceilings" to the tune of "feelings".....

ive never fell through a ceiling yet... but then im not that heavy, so if careful, i could probably stand only on plasterboard

I see from the Rev's Avatar that he can walk on water, there he is just coming ashore carrying a giant banana.

I can walk on water..... I need a small amount of assistance in the form of an 8'4" piece of fibreglass and foam which looks slightly like a banana from some angles!

However I cannot walk on plasterboard!
