The end of the road

[Oscar]

Sorry to hear of your decision but quite understand it . I took the same decision around 18 months ago having got to 55 without serious injury[apart from one incident] but some lucky escapes , having done sheds off and on since I was 22 . As others have said, will miss your photos and advice but good luck with your future and keep in touch on TFF.

best wishes, it must've been a fairly hard decision even with the health issues

wasn’t the easiest, but no point knackering myself up before I’m 30

Well done for putting your health first. The graveyard is full of young men who worked too hard.

You're still young, get a less stressful job and enjoy life, good health is very precious.

Best of luck for the future.

[Dr. Alkathene]

All the best for the future Rob, I could probably find a picture of some concrete with a puddle in it

 

[chaffcutter]

Good luck Rob, having suffered back problems myself from my late 30’s, forty years ago, you MUST look after yourself and avoid all the silly things that aggravate it so easily.

One other question, what you doing with the collection of millwalkie tools ?
Asking for a friend

 

[JP1]

A sad day for you Rob. It must have been a very difficult decision to make as I know you enjoy your business so much
But you’re a young man and your health is the most important thing

I'd echo all of that. It must have been a tough decision. All the best with everything and don't be a stranger on here

 

[yellowbelly]

Very sorry to hear about your problems - best of luck in what you decide to do next, I'm sure you'll make a success of it.

From what we've seen on here, it was all great work - although I do remember you building a sh!t shed for @Gator ................

.............maybe it was just a sh!t shed 'cos that's what he keeps in it

 

[quattro]

All the best for whatever you do

 

[ollie989898]

Very sorry to learn of this. I know too many people who have hit 50 and are near crippled from a lifetime of that kind of work. It might not seem ideal at the moment but in a short time I hope you learn you made the right decision.

All the best for the future.

 

[SilliamWhale]

Good luck with the future. Sorry to hear about the back - I fell off a shed roof about 8 years ago and I'm very very lucky I didn't get injured worse although I did break my sacrum.

They say to alleviate back pain try to sit down as little as possible and walk plenty. I'm only saying this as with your new job if you are doing lots of driving or sitting in front of computer really try hard to make sure you can improve your back. I recommend weights too - even if you think your back can't handle it (obvs get special advice) but very often pain in one part of the back is because its carrying extra effort or twists in another area - get it working!
