Safety first

I bought a roll of safety tape on clearance at HD for $2.23 for a 36 yd roll. Decided to put tape in places that are a tripping hazard, even though I have blocked off the end of the patio where I tripped and fell on the concrete.

Also put tape on the stoop at the back of the garage and on the walkway inside the garage.

Now when I see the safety tape, I automatically lift my feet higher so I don't trip.

Take pictures (as you already did) and document this, your liability insurance carrier might like it lol

I enjoy those signs proclaiming "Not responsible for accidents" hang those around also.

I also am a safety minded person, so keep on keepin on.

Take care n keep warm now.

Too darn bad no one had foresight enough to make all those on the same level ?
Not much height change going on likely could be redone by adding more concrete and making a gradual taper where they meet.

I need to put some of that on our cat. Don't know how many times I've tripped on that stupid thing.

Looks like a good idea. I think the cat thing might be a winner too... 8)

I tried that on our cat, The tape didn't stick to good so I used Yellow spray paint. Wife was NOT happy.

I got tired of tripping so I formed the habit of keeping my head down every where I go. Havn't tripped since. Did you know walking into 5th wheel bedrooms hurt much worse than tripping? Granddaughter ran to our friend's camp spot accross the road holloring "come quick MeMee,Papaw says he thinks he might have a con-cussing,I believe it,come listen."

Once had a black cat that was smart enough to not move when I walked down the unlit stairs. Don't know how I never stepped on him but didn't. Goofy black cat have now not all that smart as runs ahead of you and stops. Always thinks he gonna get fed. I think he needs one of them cow bells so I know he's coming.
