Just had a very scary incident at our house. The chimney is being recrowned today by a professional chimney repair company. It's in the low 40s with high winds today, so not a fun day for being up on a roof. Suddenly I heard a lot of noise from outside and when I looked out the back door, one of the crew was sprawled face down on the patio. The ladder had fallen (I suspect with him on it) and the other guy was stuck on the roof. I called the main office and they got the owner and called EMS. Before EMS got here, the guy got up and walked to his truck, but they took him to the hospital after evaluation. Fortunately one of the firemen put the ladder back up for the other guy (too big for me to do it on my own). They sent another guy to help get the repair finished. A little too much excitement for my taste!
