Gutted

I hate day like this!! Hope you get it fixed quickly and cheaply

At least you got the curtain up. Most would have given up. You could just shut the curtain and forget about it I:

oh.... I was very tempted

:blg

 

[Pottsy---]

ouch! Gutted! makes me feel a whole lot better about the crease in my wheel arch carpet though, if thats any consolation.

My window cracked like this (Although no fail involved on my part).

Insurance sorted for me for £90 - much better than the cost of a new window!

It may start to disintegrate as you drive now so keep the mileage down until fixed!

... DOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How well I know the feeling.

As a plumber, I have switched off the cold and then cut the hot, opened isolation valves and forgot to spanner them tight and many, many more things....

It is part of life and gives us all a laugh in the pub.

I hope the fix isn't too costly for you?

As a floor layer I've cut, screwed, nailed and drilled through more pipes and cables than I care to remember. Including flooding out a bungalow that had been rebuilt after a fire!
I am very careful though believe it or not

Thanks for the all the kind responses, looks like I will be £150 out of pocket for a new aftermarket slider.

I was crying in my beer last night but seeing the funny side of it this morning - sh** happens :*

I once squeezed a windsurf board into a Sierra Estate and slammed the tailgate causing the nose of the board to crack the windscreen! :bhd It's bad when it happens but you just gotta suck it up and move on..

My mate ply lined his van once (T4). Spend a few hours inside. Job done. Went outside the van to get a brew. Looking back at his van whilst sipping tea, notice the paintwork looked "odd". On closer inspection he realised that EVERY screw he'd put in was just a tad too long. Not piecing the bodywork but just enough to cause a slight bubble.

Looked like his van had chicken pox

LOLLOLLOLLOL

[VeeDubDan]

I can't remember exactly, but he did have it repaired.





Oh bought shorter screws.

 

[Z_Fred]
