How to avoid dying while DIY-ing
Date Published: Oct 02 2012

Don’t Die While DIY-ING. Electrocution from doing your own wiring: Always shut off power at the main breaker box before working on any circuits. Falling from a ladder while cleaning your gutters: Avoid excess baggage because carrying items while you climb increases the risk of falling. Asphyxiation from improperly connecting the gas lines: Get a carbon monoxide detector and leave gas line work to a plumber or HVAC technician. Injury or death from tree or branch removal: Make sure to use a rope to lower large branches to the ground. Serious injury from power tool accidents: Make sure to always follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and always wear protective eyewear.
