Butterfingers..

Of all the things I could have done, this may have been the stupidest! I've always been somewhat of a clumsy person, but this I really should have been watching.
I was helping my brother in law and his fiance fix up their new house. Of course there is going to be lots to do. Carpetting, pulling out tacking, nails, you name it. Today however, she wanted to steam the wallpaper off the wall. Seemed like a simple thing to do but what seemed simple turned into a nightmare. The glue wouldnt come off the wall, the wallpaper would just pull the drywall off, to the point where it needed patching and it was causing a lot of unwanted stress. I was busy using e  scraper to scrape the glue residue off the wall. STUPIDLY I brought the scraper down and the blade/scraper part hit my thumb. It stung a bit but thinking nothing of it I carried on. It was only when i saw blood pouring out of my thumb that i had realized i had sliced it open. But you want to know the funniest thing? I honestly wasn't aware that those scrapers were made with razor blades. I thought they were blunt so they didn't cause damage to the walls when used. So I was scraping it up and down the wall like some sort of crazy person lol. 

Have u ever tried to take wood panels out with your thumb wrapped in two layers of paper towels to stop the bleeding, and u cant grip stuff properly? Well that's what I had to do and I felt so stupid for having the accident.  At least it wasn't fatal and my thumb is still intact and I am OK but I ort to be careful next time I use that scraper.
