Renovating our 1901 home this year. Gutting all the knob and tube electrical wiring, plaster walls, etc. The latest endeavour was razing our old 2ND floor bathroom/bedroom to make way for a new master bedroom. Welp, I found a shortcut to the first floor dining room when the floor gave way.
Nothing broken, but I got one helluva bruise. Guess we're renovating the dining room now too.

Here’s another scenario - you’re in the attic space, walking the edges of the joists to get from point a to point b, and a foot slips off the joist it was on. You end up with both feet sticking through the sheetrock ceiling and you’re sitting a-straddle the joist.
Which scenario would you choose? Been there, done that.....
Edit: T’was not a pleasant experience for Big Jim and the twins....
Yow!! I'll stick with the arse first landing on the kitchen table, thanks.

Apple hit a market cap of $1T on Thursday, becoming the first publicly traded U.S. company to reach the milestone. Many credit the company's growing software and services sales with driving the valuation. The catch-all category - which includes the App Store (NASDAQ:AAPL), AppleCare, Apple Pay, iTunes and cloud services - posted record revenue of $9.55B for the June quarter.

Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
And why do I suddenly have the urge to watch Caddyshack?
I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot. I will smoke anything, though.
