Casualties of Home Improvement

This battle, like all others, has taken its toll. The current list of casualties (minus the usual stiff muscles and such):

• Bloody nose, cut lip, scratched face (pulling a nail out of the floor -- hit myself in the face with the hammer and my hand)
• Bruised foot (125 lb floor sander + gravity - bottom step = OUCH!)
• Minor chemical burn (wood stripper)
• Eight kajillion puncture wounds and cuts (staples sticking out of the hardwood floor)
• Countless splinters
• Bruised knees (crawling around on the hardwood floor before realizing that perhaps I should invest in knee pads)

Next week, I start painting. I suppose I should keep the paramedics standing by. You never know when I might impale myself with a paint roller...
