When installing interlocking rubber floor tiles (gym flooring), and using a rubber mallet, don't have your face above the rubber mallet when you're smacking the flooring to smooth out the connections.

Corollary: And you probably shouldn't be drinking Irish whiskey, regardless of how good it is, when you're doing the install. And The Wild Geese Irish Soldiers and Heroes is some fine Irish whiskey.

Thanks for the tip, Doug. If I ever find myself installing that type of flooring, I'll try to remember your tip ;)

Luckily your head was there to absorb the impact. And the alcohol helped to deaden, well hopefully the response. Knowing you I am more surprised that you are only on lesson #247. I think you're skipping sections.

"I think you're skipping sections."

I sometimes use the same number over and over. Recycling is good for the planet.....

I'm laughing as I visualize this. Sounds like a 3 stooges routine.

You could make a series of videos for OSHA ;) Happy Holidays Doug

If i decide to install that type of flooring I'm going to hire Doug. It could be entertaining (just teasing). Hope it didn't hurt too much.

Doug,

I enjoy your humorous posts.

"you're a funny guy" ala the Goodfella's movie.

After visualizing the outcome, I shall henceforth refer to you as Bulldog. ;0)

Happy New Year, Doug. Now go finish that bottle and forget the flooring until next year.

"I sometimes use the same number over and over..."

Works well with birthdays also!

Doug, you are hysterical! Your postings really crack me up. Have a fantastic 2012!
