Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

I AM NOT one of the ones that HAVE NOT done this.....so I will share my story.
When I was a young plumber, we were putting some water heaters in the attic of 2 houses if I remember correctly, anyway.......
The first one, the other guy went up first, and as soon as his second foot got up in the attic, boom, straight nut shot, both legs full force though the ceiling.
After he recovered, and I recovered from laughing, we finished the job and went to the next one right next door......
Of course, I had to go first on this one, and sure enough as soon as I got up there, like a ding bat, boom, same thing, same exact spot as the other fella.
Dont feel bad, if you aint fell through the ceiling, you aint a real man.

I've fuckin done this too OP.
During Covid we decide to buy a new house and then move and sell our previous house. I was doing a small repair in the attic and turn and missed the stud.......boom right though the drywall and ceiling.....FML. This is always my problem, 1 simple repair becomes 2-3 major.......
