I split my Obelisk!

Lovely morning, thought I would tidy up my smallish slate garden which involved moving a slate obelisk aside temporarily. Having weeded and removed dead or dying plants it was ready for the 25kg vertical piece of slate to be put back in place..simples! I heaved it up, stumbled, over balanced and slammed it down again, in the wrong place obviously. It split straight down the centre from top to bottom. I now have two, much thinner and less heavy, slate obelisks. I still have the sound of my wife chuckling ringing in my ears. Was I hurt? No just a small dent in my pride.

Oh dear EZ, photo please?

It could have been worse, it could have been you split in two instead!

A few spots of super glue and it will be as good as new EZ Rider.

Re: I split my Obelisk!

What a shame EZ. I'm sure it could be put back together again.

Re: I split my Obelisk!

That must have been painful EZ ..... I hope you recover soon.

Joan has just asked me to re enact it! Apparently she seems to think my family should watch me making a fool of myself on Snapcrap or whatever it's called. Oh well, why break the habit of a lifetime.

Thanx Mags. I've recovered, the pride will take a day or two but the slate will suffer from a split personality forever.

Re: I split my Obelisk!

Get a new one and put it on the slate.

Hey peeps be careful out there with the diy. My niece is a consultant ortho surgeon at Oswestry, and she tells me visits to A and E have almost doubled since the lockdown because of diy accidents. The NHS has enough to do at the moment so do take extra care when diy-ing...
