Managed to relocate my mojo after a good few weeks where life has been doing its best to keep me either fully occupied or struggling for motivation (for many many reasons).
Anyway, my lovely wife noticed I'd been down for a while and after a good heart to heart on Friday she told me to get to the workshop and she would take the kids out for the day today. After a late one drinking mojito's with friends last night, we rose late, ate brekkie and did homework then off they went and off to it I set.
I had 4 boards of Quinntherm left in my stocks and aimed to get them in using my new foam gun and wedging technique.
After a few mins getting to frips with the trigger mechanism/setting on the gun I had a flow rate I was happy with and that filled the gap I was planning to leave without bursting out from the surface and away I went...
This was the first area to be hit, what will be the woodstore...
After about 3.5 hours of up and down ladders, cutting, wedging and falling off the ladder...
Here we were...
There's the bit to the right of the last pic and the whole following pic to go. All to then be overboarded with a further 50mm Quinntherm, then 12mm OSB.
As I was doing the bit above the Velux I had turned the stepladder side on whereas I had been doing all work face on up to then. As I reached for a handhold on a rafter the ladder lurched to the left, I managed to catch it but over corrected and it fell right. I managed to jam my right hand under a rafter but couldn't hold for long so managed to swing and jump away from the sticky out bits on the workmate below me but my foot landed on the falling ladder tripping me so while I managed to not hit the workmate I landed full 13.5 stones on my right hip and right back/ribs. Whacked my right wrist/forearm/elbow, skinned my right ankle on the ladder, whacked left wrist on ladder also.
Feeling pretty stiff and banged up now, but managed to achieve what I had set out to and will be ordering the remaining materials to finish off tomorrow. I'm skint after recent holiday to Cuba (thread to follow) so SWMBO is very kindly buying me my materials for my birthday next week
Here's part of the damage...
Mojo located and providing I can actually move tomorrow then I aim to be back in there next weekend.
Cheers
