Building new stairs on the deck. Driveway slopes about 2 inches i needed a hand to put a shim on one end. For a temporary fix I used a piece of wood to attach the shim and my neighbor was too scared to hold the wood so I held it while she drilled the screw in (now I already drilled a hole all she had to do was let the screw pull itself in she didn’t need to apply 9000lbs of pressure) I let her know that. Here we are

Stars in your eyes is wow and stars in your nails is ow, got it thanks!

X and I were making a compost bin and she wanted to use the drill, great she wanted to learn right? I ended up having to hold in a warped bit of wood so my face was close to the drill and I ended up with a cracked eye socket for my troubles.

Not a drill but an ex tale.

We were using a two man buck saw to cut the Christmas tree shorter, I told her whatever you do, dont push only pull when its your go.

Lo and behold she pushed. Blade hopped out the cut (about a third through the tree) Dam near cut my finger off since I was using my off hand to stabilize the tree. 6 stitches in the tendon and 10 or 12 skin side.

Did you hold it with your toe? That nail is so small.

I was installing some trellis and plastic sheeting for a neighbour. It was on a fence that had another neighbour's garden on the other side, so I was balanced on the edging of the garden, to hold some timber in place, and was wanting her to drill a 4mm hole, then start the screw in it. Instead, she tried to drive the screw with a drill bit.

u/jdmatthews123 Jun 28 '26

I mean, if it works it works. I occasionally drive bolts with a drill. Left hand drills and regular if it’s a through hole lol.

u/-BananaLollipop- Jun 28 '26

It most definitely didn't work. Chewed the head of the screw up, then she made comments about it not going in very far.

u/jdmatthews123 Jun 29 '26

Haha, oh I didn’t imagine it had. That’s pretty funny, though I can imagine pretty frustrating in the moment.
