I have had a few companies try to sneak it out of my check. It is 7% here. And I am like whoa whoa what is this 7% horse shit. Oh that is your work comp. Yeah no give me email address i will have a cert sent over. I carry it because it only cost me a couple hundred bucks a year. Also they have a waiver that you can get your self except from it if it is just you working but some of the shops don't recognize it and you have to get it anyways so for that reason I just carry it less hassle and it really doesn't cost me that much some people seemed a little more impressed Maybe that you have insurance even though it does absolutely nothing for me

Whatever you do don't tell them you climb a ladder or use a baker scaffold . No sir, no walls over 5' high ever gets tiled by me.

I remember watching an electrician on a job. He had a tall ladder opened up, probably 10ft or so high. He then had a 6 or 8 ft ladder on the bottom one. He had the legs wired up so it would stay up there without falling off. The boss man walked in and told the idiot on the ladder that if he falls, he's fired before he hits the floor. I had to laugh, the kid on the ladder was his son.

After 74 trips around the sun and 43,216,000,000 miles I still have all my original parts and am full of hot air.

I've been monitoring the situation and we can still go around the edges and get quite a few more on there.

Just another scar

Went to the doc with pain in shoulder. He sez quit manual labor or I'll end up sawing your shoulder off... And he did.
Now I'm sporting titanium.

Don't know what kind of blade was attached to the angle grinder.
