I Had An ACCIDENT... Building A Garage Alone!

Hey, My name is Tom. I don't know about you but I find myself wanting to DO everything myself. I consider myself a Jack Of All Trades. Master of none. What you'll find here will be anything from building or fixing cars or trucks, building or remodeling projects and everything in between. I get myself into some pretty interesting situations.

I'd love it if you subscribed so we can stay in touch... You might even learn something. I know I will!

Thank you for watching!!

This is God's way of telling you to slow down. Dawn needs you and the kid's Dad is not replaceable!

[gwencowan]

OMG…it looks great! As a former ER nurse I am glad you came to the realization that it’s not worth it if you injure yourself!

[sharonkastor]

I am sorry you got injured! Thank you for showing the finished garage and thank you most of all for putting videos out again!

[PatPomroy]

Praying you heal well Tom. Good decision going forward on not being up in the air alone.

[JenOooo]

WOW, glad to hear you're heeding the warning ⚠️ Happier to hear you didn't fall off the roof, been holding my breath for the majority of the video 😮 Speedy recovery 🙏💜

My son is a carpenter who was working alone up on a ladder nailing up a soffit. He put the nail through the palm of his hand and well into the wood beyond. There he was two stories high nailed to the house with no cell phone that he could reach and no one around to hear him yell. He grabbed his saw and sawed off the part of the soffit attached to his hand, climbed down the ladder and drove himself to the ER. Swears he will not work alone again. We will see... (BTW-- the nail missed all the many things running through the palm and his hand is fine!)

[mariannlyda]

Things are coming along nicely. Once again, I am so very glad you're back doing videos. You were sorely missed.

[debbielauck]

Thank goodness your injury, although serious, was not as bad as it could have been. You do awesome work, glad your judgement is getting a little less rusty! Now if you’d use sunscreen to protect your future self…
So glad you’re back to making videos!

[fianorian]

Wow! That was a lot of work for one man. As someone who will be 80 in October I can understand the reticence about doing stuff, up a ladder etc, alone. Last time I hung wallpaper a friend rang me every day, just to make sure I hadn't fallen.

[SheilaEnglish]

I know a farmer who died doing a job on his own that really required two people. He left behind four young children and a widow. You do not want to leave Dawn and your kids in that position. Glad you’re seeing the wisdom of not doing everything on your own.

[adriennedull]

Thank Goodness you aren't more seriously injured. Always good to have a work buddy to be safe.

[angelacross]

Yes it does look fantastic. Well done Tom Thumb.

[jhemeyer]

Omg Tom you crack me up. You’ve gotta stop outing stuff on your videos about going against codes & approvals - you don’t know who’s watching! (Although I completely agree with your sentiment of doing what you want!)

[sueshields]

It does look incredible!! Really awesome! All your hard work is paying off!!

[ninabooker]

I’m sorry you got hurt, please be careful we really really like you and don’t want anything to happen to you. That injury will be painful healing because there are a lot of nerves in fingertips. I like the windows and door locations. Keep the back wall no openings leaving a place for cabinets and such, so maybe consider some blocking for hanging tools or cabinets. ❤ Be careful please. ❤

[carolmingus]

The garage looks great. Once the home is finished I hope you get good long term renters that will maintain it!

[sandykoenig]

Tom, as worried as I was when I saw the title of the video I knew you had to be ok or it wouldn't be up. I have to admit, I do laugh along with you and some of your decisions. I am so glad you weren't seriously hurt, and oh yes, the Garage looks Beautiful!!!!

[rebeccamapes]

The garage is awesome!! Please take care of yourself. Hard lesson but a good one. Work with someone else there. Especially if you are up in the air. Painting a wall is a different story but working in windy conditions and you have to be tired out. You are such an amazing contractor. Everything you do is beautiful.

[annecassidy]

OH dear, Tom! You’re absolutely right - injuries that might affect you for the rest of your life are not worth taking a chance. Best wishes for your complete healing with no residual troubles.

[girlonaswing]

The boys watch you and will do what you do. Think about that for a moment. Safety first. I am very glad it wasn't worse. I'm praying for a complete healing, my friend.
