The other day James came home from work early with a bandaged arm informing me he had been to the Emergency Room. This is not something anyone wants to hear, especially knowing James and how he would avoid going to a doctor at all costs, let alone the ER. Apparently he was working on a house using a nail gun. Everything was going along fine until he shot the nail gun and the safety double fired. I'm not sure if that's the correct terminology, but the gun shot out an extra nail and instead of going into the house it went into James. Ouch. That sounds painful to me. It went into his arm (see bandage) a couple of inches deep. He was able to salvage the nail and is showing it off in the picture above. He was pretty nonchalant about the whole ordeal. I'm just glad he's okay and the wound seems to be healing without any problems.

Hope your insurance is good. That little trip to the ER would probably cost us about $500. Sad, but true. Glad James is OK.
Jeff has a couple stories from construction. Most were actually near missed, but he has some from other people that "OOOUUUCCCHHHH" is all you can say.
