12 sheets of 3/4 BB, and 4 sheets of 1/4 BB stacked on edge, 36” high stickered stack of walnut about 16” away.
Standing between. Needed the 1/4. Naturally, it was behind the 3/4. Pulled the whole stack over. Knocked me backwards on to the walnut. Trapped my legs between the ply and the walnut. I was flat on my back. The ply just inches off my chest. Couldn’t move. Hurt like the devil.
Finally worked a short board loose and got it between the ply and the edge of the walnut stack. With more strength than I thought possible, was able to pry the ply up enough to get one leg free. Had to take a breather. With a few more tries, I managed to get the other leg out. About 24” ” above the walnut stack is a rack with maple stacked on it. That’s all the room I had to maneuver. Finally, squirmed around and was able to get out.
Nothing broken. A few scrapes and my calves are black and blue. Pretty sore. I can hardly walk. Think I’ll restack it all tomorrow…maybe.

Gene,

My like indicates that I am happy that you got out in one piece. The outcome could have been much, much worse. I am happy to hear you are ok!!

I wonder who that was that would stack things like that in the first place. You better find him and jump his bones. A feller could get hurt. 

  I know. It should be a learning experience but hey.

 

DON'T TELL THE MRS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Glad you are OK

You are so right. Sounded good at the time.

Had to. She was curious about the cane.

What a scare that must have been.

Glad to hear that you are ok, with minor injuries.

 

Don't even be telling us something like that happened.    Nobody around here likes hearing that kind of "war story".  

 

Glad you're doing better and thinking about a rack to hold all that stuff so it can't fall over on you.

Wife took a look at the mess that landed on me. Can't repeat her comments but, they ended with a comment regarding the intellectual acuity of my posterior.

No room for a rack. Thinking about anchoring a couple chains just above the ply and at the bottom. Don't want to ever let that happen again.

Geez Gene that's scary!  Sooo glad you're OK.

 WHEW!!!

Glad to hear that you're okay, must be something in the air. (separate posting).

What the heck ya'll doing around here! The weekend is coming up, expect everyone to survive please! Glad you're ok Gene, keep an eye on that bruising, if it gets worse get medical attention. We need ya here!

You lucked out, glad that wasn't worse.

Glad you got out Gene with only bruising and a story to tell,

Cal

Ouch!!!  Glad that all you got was bruised.  We don't bounce the way we once did.

Thanks for your concern, guys. Really appreciate it. 

Only the right leg is sore this AM. The outside at mid calf. When I landed, that leg was twisted so it was caught between an edge/corner of the top board and the pile of ply.

It's a bit better this morning. I'm gonna try walking (shuffelling?) a ways. Maybe work it off. Don't think a trip to a doctor is needed. Don't have time. Gotta re stack the plywood. AFTER I grab that 1/4" sheet I was after.

Ply is restacked...with Phyl's help. 1/4" was pulled and cut. Still mulling a containment system.

Leg is much better after a half day in the shop. 

Glad you're OK Gene. Obviously could have been much worse.

Glad you made it thru that with only a limp. I will not tell about the near missed when I had to step back and say "Thank you Lord for the save". Usually my stupidity.
