My daughter crashed into my bow shop
« on: February 10, 2017, 08:47:14 pm »
I was in my bow shop taking the sapwood off of some osage staves this evening.  I heard the garage door open which means my wife and daughter were home.  As I walked to the door of my shop I heard the engine rev up and then a big crash.  The wall came flying in at me and I jumped out of the way.  She stepped on the gas peddle instead of the brake.  She has her learners permit.  I keep my firewood in 2 barrels just outside my shop.  I had a couple buckets of kindling in front of them.  Luckily those barrels absorbed a lot of the impact.  If those weren't there she would have gained more speed and hit the wall with more force.  I'm sure I would have been injured.  I was pretty angry and she was really upset.  It did some damage to the car.  My workshop wall wasn't to hard to fix.  I was able to take a big sledge hammer and knock it back into place.  It's not as straight as it was before but its good enough.  My door opens and closes so that's good.

You are right Kevin.  It could have been a lot worse.

I think my daughter definitely learned a lesson.  She cried for about 3 hours straight after it happened.  She finally calmed down and then lost it again when she told me good night.

OPPS!😥😥. Doesn't look like any bows got busted - every body is ok, that's what count.  Might make good footage for an insurance commercial, though. Got firewood?  Chance for a new shop?  She'll be embarrassed about that for years to come.  Most of us have done something similar at one time or another.

Glad no one was hurt. Didn't someone run into your house last year? Make sure you give her a big hug Clint, she's  probably more upset than you are.

Memorial day some kid drove into the room where my wife worked and destroyed it. In December another kid crashed into my wife's car as she was driving home.  We just got the car fixed a couple of weeks ago.  Also, I recently finished the walls in my workshop.

 Sorry about the car and shop, that stuff is fixable!  The #1 thing is nobody got hurt. I see you started on the big stage with holes in it! Can't wait to see it finished out
