Okay so I didn't "almost" die. But I came close!... Saturday we had some really high winds. And knocked a bunch of siding and shingles to our roof loose. Me being the only person willing to fix them due to the height of 74 feet up on a hill. It was also, windy as shit today and it needed to be done before some storms hit. Im up there replacing some shingles, hammering away and a huge gust comes, making my nail box slide down the roof. I slip trying to grab them and start sliding down the roof as well. This wouldnt have been so bad if I were on the front side of my house and slipped, but I was on the back side of it and theres about a 80 or 90 foot drop onto giant chunks of rock that we so conveniently decided to place there when we built this house 10 years ago. Luckily I was able to stop right before I fell off. Otherwise id be in either critical condition or dead, depending on how I fell. I didn't even get paid. :(
