Did my back in today!! Lifted the carpet 50oz Ryalux (25x5m, 20x5m, and 13x13) then tredaire colours red. Just lifting last bag bang down I went. Managed to get back on my feet about 20 mins later and then off to the job 2 large bedrooms and a s/l. One look at the stircase and called the punter in who agreed that it was going to be an almost impossible task to get the carpet into the rooms via the 9 winders!!! Result punter went and got scaffolding and roped in 4 others to lift the carpet through the top window. Hard day dosed on pain killers and now diazapane but jobs a goodn and really nice punters happy!! Bring on the 33mx5m tomorrow. :-/
Are you saying the bedrooms are 25m x 5m and 20m x 5m, where the hell are you working? Buckingham palace? Biggest bedroom Ive ever done in 1 was a piece of tolgate, special made 7.10m wide x 10m
Opps sorry!! Still a bit of a caveman 25 foot x 5 mtr. Old habits die hard!! On a brighter note it's only a prolapsed disc affecting my left siatic nerve. Can't feel my calf quite weird!
I've had to book myself in with an Osteopath for a similar thing, even a slight jog brings on excrutiating pain at the moment.
also one of the reasons that i went into doing NVQ's and training. My body parts are knackered and im only in my 30's ! Spent many hours / days at doctors and in hospitals etc getting my back, knees and wrists sorted out in the past.
Holiday??? Flooded with work at the minute not complaining but hate letting people down and you all know about the " gotta take it cos it may not be there next week" mentallity. One week on and leg still numb but have my brothers mate working with us and they are doing the lifting although the profit on the work is paying the extra man. Catch 22!
