    Well almost. I am a tile setter and was tearing out the bottom of a shower today. I was tearing out the walls, about 8" off the floor. I romoved the floor, the walls concrete and then the old lead pan. Got everything out and the subfloor looked ok, WRONG! I stepped in the shower to start cleaning the rest of my mess and my left foot went through the floor! My leg went all the way through up to my waist and I almost went all the way through to the basement, which was about 10' to the concrete floor below. Man I got lucky today!

    Glad to hear you are ok. Sounds like a scary moment, you should buy a new fish or coral to help calm the nerves :)

    Glad your'e ok but, This thread would have been better had you made it through IMHO! I've fallen through one once, head first. Not a scratch but, I'm like a cat.

    Isn't that the wierdest feeling when you go to step on something and nothing is there. Glad you are OK.

    Close one. Falling 10 feet is not fun, especially on concrete.
