PSA: don't get SCREW-ed
 a) hi, i'm mariel if we haven't been introduced. b) i own a construction/remodeling company and occasionally take part in the oh-so-fun action. c) that is a screw stuck to my hand. this happened at work today as i was installing a subfloor. i knew i had dried HEAVY DUTY PROJECT ADHESIVE on my hands but certainly didn't think anything would still stick. it wouldn't come off and i had no acetone on the jobsite so i got to drive home like this. i had to soak my hand in nail polish remover for twenty minutes to get it and the rest of the gunk off. for future reference: wear gloves when installing cement backing board.

Sorry about the screw but I just wanted to say that I think you have a really cool career. Will you be the next Bob Vila?

I actually found that quite amusing. It could be worse. The screw could be through your finger instead of just stuck to it!

Gah...when I first looked at the picture, I thought the screw was going THROUGH you finger.
I couldn't believe you were so calm and taking the time to post about that!
