Careful with the tools

Especially with the boys, how many times have you hurt yourself in using tools? Say hammer, pliers, screw driver, knives and any other kind of tools? As they say, tools are made to make work easier but we have to admit that not all of us were born to use the tools. In one news report, a man died from tetanus after using an old saw that probably cut his hand in the process.

When doing simple work at home, tools are fine to use. But for a big job like house repairs, I would prefer to hire a carpenter to do the work or maybe a mason to replace the tiles. Sometimes it pays to spend for the service of professionals than to scrimp by doing the job yourself and get hurt eventually. That is a lesson to be learned with the number of cuts I suffered, the abrasions and the bruises.
