Never , never ever ever put your finger on the trigger until the gun hits the wood even on a roof gun ! Your finger is the safety on any gun ! I commend Gina for not freaking out ! Great job ! I hope you feel better this morning Al !
@@colinstace1758 The BUMP feature? I have been watching this guy and waiting for him to put a nail through his hand as he always has his finger on the trigger and uses the SAFTEY feature as the trigger. I even commented saying he should be carful and not hold the trigger and use the pressure safety as the trigger.
I have said this time and time again, "NEVER put your finger on the trigger until your target is acquired and you have secured the target and what is beyond it!" I guess this also rule also applies to nail guns. Those breakfast casseroles you make always look so good! Healing & Blessings to all.
Yes! It took you like half an hour to realize that you’d been shot. I was stunned at your reaction. And Gina’s. Then I thought, ok which way was the gun angled. Thank you Lord that you spared Al and Gina today on the farm. Your mercies endure forever😇
Almost all accidents happen when you feel under pressure to hurry. You're thinking more of finishing, not safety. I'm so thankful the accident wasn't worse. God bless you.
My dad got his hand caught in a hedge trimmer once, not serious, but in the E.r. he asked the doctor if he would be able to play piano. She said yes, and he said "that's wonderful. I've always wanted to be able to play the piano."
Al, That has to be the final nail that you hammer into the building! Undies attached lol. You're both so handy with your nail guns, very envious of your skills! take care!
I'm with Gina - it could'a been a lot worse, and thank the Lord it wasn't!! That nail could've hit bone, or a large blood vessel, a nerve or even an organ and it would've been a whole different scenario. Praise the Lord that it just hit muscle! Praying for a quick healing, Al! 🌷🙏🙏🌷
Morning. Winter 2019, I slipped on the ice in the driveway and landed on my right hip. I felt fine until the next day when I was so sore I could not walk. Spent 3 weeks laying and sleeping on the sofa. After the pain went away I found I still could not walk. Went to the hospital and a MRI showed major damage to my pelvis. 2 surgery's, 6 weeks in the hospital and rehab and I still have trouble walking and its been more than a year. Doctor says I am stuck with this issue. Sometimes the simplest injury and led to major issues. Hope you are well soon.
It's amazing how a little colour lifts the appearance of food. That was a great bake! Sore one with the leg. At least you did not pin the tail on your donkey!😭. Strange how the body reacts. Should have a nice rainbow leg for a few days. At least you are on the good side of a bad situation, thank God! Our chickens have stopped laying this past week, either that or there is a big pile of eggs somewhere in the garden! They are about a year and a half old, so first moult coming. Plan to pamper them with a handful of corn for supper to help them through. Lovely views through the trees. Stay safe! Regards Stephen.
I have to say Al, you have done fantastic with this being the only accident with all the jobs you have done, Gina, you were a star for not freaking out 🌟👍 there are easier ways to get a day off lol glad you are OK
Al, as my mother used to always tell me when I goofed, "The hurrieder you go, the behinder you get!" Wise words from a wise woman. Rushing leads to mistakes and accidents, whether driving somewhere, plowing a field, or nailing trim work, you need to take your time. I'm glad that it was not more serious.
Use this experience to hold Gina's hand and say you love her. We don't know how long we have on this Earth but we do know who and what is important in our lives from God and family to friends and viewers who follow your life story every time you set a video up. Bless you, all.
We may not be here very long: Starting April 2019 I heard: Tell them I am coming soon! I have heard in April 2019 and April 2020: There will be a great shaking.
So glad you’re ok. That nail makes me cringe, and I’m a nurse. Now you know how sturdy they hold the wood ! Praise the Lord that it was only soft tissue and didn’t hit a vessel. You’re guardian angel was truly watching out for you! You’re a tough man. Yea those tetanus shots deliver a wallop, but hey, it beats the alternative....Bless Gina’s heart! I know it was frightening. Thank goodness she was with you. Take care and thanks for reminding people to take safety precautions. Everyone thinks that it will never happen to them; and we know how experienced you are. Lots to be thankful for this upcoming Thanksgiving 🙏🏻💗✝️💉🔨
i can't tell you how much i admire Gina on a typical day but now my admiration is on a different level.....she didn't even squeal..... she just looked over and thought "well if he dies , so be it " so pretty , so competent and so calm.....and so admirable
So thankful your injury was not serious Al. 🙌🏼 Slowing down is key. I nearly severed my thumb off with a saw because I didn’t slow down. The thumb doesn’t work very well but I still have it!👍🏼
Having been shot with a nail gun myself I can honestly say WELCOME TO THE CLUB... accidents happen so please be careful. Your reaction was a lot more calm than mine, cursing and swearing all the way to the hospital
I know the feeling. I put a nail from a stick nailer in my hand while putting in curtain blocks. I was holding the block with my right hand and nailing from my left. The nail hit a knot in the wood and went into my thumb at the first joint and the point came out in the fat part of my palm. The nails were held together by paper not wire so I pulled it out but went to the er to get a shot and so antibiotics. I feel your pain. lol.
Been there Al. Almost came close to shooting my eye with my nail gun.. useful but a dangerous tool. Stay alert at all times is a good motto when using those types of tools.
So glad you're ok Al. Will be praying for you. "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them." Rm. 8:38 You are a great teacher Al. Your forthright honesty , showing us the good, bad and ugly, in all your endeavor is enlightening...and honestly ... very educational . I've said it before, I learn so much from you and ( unfortunately for you) this accident came at a opportune time for me. 😅 I've been talking to my mom ( she's my helper) about being careful when she hands me my nailers or is taking one from me. Your accident was the real life picture for her ( and myself) to see just how quickly something can happen. It's a clear message to me that, I too, need to S-L-O-W down abit. Thank you for being such a good sport when others are being somewhat critical or judgmental. We've all at some point had some kind of a "job site" fiasco...big or small...painful or funny ( took me 2 hrs to coax my mom off the shed roof one time and her foot was actually touching the ladder most of the time😂🤣) God bless you and heal you. Your family is a wonderful inspiration to many.
I stated in another video, the Makita MAC700, known as the Big Bore is an excellent small compressor. 2.5 gallon size. Follow the break-in procedure, by filling with oil, open the petcock on the tank and let it run for 30-45 minutes. Close the petcock and you're ready to use. The Makita is a good compact size, light in weight, around 45 pounds, easy to carry, and again, quiet in operation. For sanding furniture, install a oil/water separator inline. Oil-less (like the pancake compressor you have) compressors have a problem with throwing connecting rods out the side. That's one of the reasons oil-less compressors are so noisy.
For sure count your blessings young man . I love watching your video's everyday please be safe for you , your young family , and for all of us that enjoy these video's .
Thank God, indeed. 🙏 I'm a firm believer in Guardian Angels, and yours were certainly on top of things for you. 😇 Gina was exactly right about not pulling out something like that. Time always seems so different when these accidents happen. Stay safe, everyone.
Ouch!!! Just glad you're ok Al. I enjoy watching your builds as well as seeing the animals. Gina your cooking dinner gives me ideas for my own family. Thank you!
Emergency's are one of the reasons it is good to have a set of clothes in a vacuum sealed bag in the car as you never know when you will need a change of clothes and you never know when you want them to be easier to put on so looser fit. Keeping the clothing in a vacuum sealed bag means no pests, water damage or chemicals in the car spilling on them so they will be how you put them in months or a year later. For those that have avoided any major injuries that require a trip to the ER they often need to cut off the clothing or dispose of it due to blood staining so you will need a different outfit when you get discharged.
I have cut lots of clothes off of many people in the back of an ambulance. Used to tell little kids that I was the reason their Mom made them wear clean underwear.
@@patriciablanton6243 Did they teach you how to safely remove a ring from a finger that is swelling up? There is a simple process to get them off without needing to cut the rings that works best when done early on. Also that is a great way to make a job sound creepy "I cut the clothes of of people before they can consent to it"
@gunsmith-45 It also helps when you pack clothes for yourself so you have what you want to wear and not what the SO/parent pulls from the random clothes you have.
zipped plastic gallon bags of clothes is great for camping Girl Scout style. take the clean ones out, put the used ones in, no loss of small items and everything stays dry. Yep, trips to the ER is why your mom stressed clean undies and socks every day. :
I’m really glad it wasn’t worse. I compare things like this to getting a speeding ticket. It makes you a super careful driver for 3 months or so. You got off with a warning this time so heed the message and proceed carefully, you’ve got a building to finish. I wish you a speedy recovery. 😎👍
Years ago I had to have a bulging disc repaired in my neck. After the surgery I awoke to no pain and in a recovery room surrounded by physician assistants. The Gent next to me was recovering from having a nail removed from his skull. Somehow he fell on or with the nail gun and manage to get “shot” on the head. He recovered just fine but oh so scary for the family. Those guns have the potential to do much damage - you were lucky treat it like a ‘gun’ as it really is.
Don’t apologize you’ve been working so hard your a real grafter. I love your attitude to things they always get done, you both work really hard, and make great vlogs.
Hope you aren't in to much pain this morning. Somebody else was with you two in that lift. Hope you heal quickly. Our leaves are starting to turn here in Lancaster Pa.
Oh, no. I'm watching this with a heavy heart as you start this vlog. You had so much to do, and I saw the x-ray yesterday. 🙍🙏 Sending you healing prayers
I just sent a prayer up thanking God for being there for you & asked for Him to keep you, Gina & Olivia safe. You never know what could happen when you're building or even working around the farm. I'm just thankful it wasn't a worse injury & I'm glad you're almost finished with the high work on the garage/hay barn. Al, Gina & Olivia please stay safe on the homestead & especially when you're working on your buildings. I know Gods got you all covered but taking your time & double checking for your safety is still your #1 priority. Blessings to you & yours.
I'm glad you were lucky and it wasn't too bad. I must admit I recently "stung" my thumb on a table saw when I wasn't concentrating. Fortunately there was only a tiny amount of blade showing above the wood. A valuable lesson to us both.
I hope you took several moments privately to thank whomever is looking out for you. That the nail went in at just the right angle to prevent bone penetration is something to be extra thankful for. Be careful, we all want thees videos to continue with you in them.
Glad Gina was right there with you when it happened. Such a valuable reminder for all of us to never work construction projects alone under any circumstances no matter your level of experience. An Epsom Salt soak is great to remove soreness before bedtime - if you need it. TFS!
So glad it wasn't more serious, get better quick because you still have to finish your garage/barn. Wishing you a speedy recovery and Gina well done for keeping calm 💖💖💖
I'm so glad you are ok Al. Gina you were so calm and am very glad Al listened to your warning to leave it in. Accidents do happen and I appreciate you sharing your lesson Al so hopefully even one person will not have the same injury. Love the fall colors showing down your lane. Have a wonderful day
Someone was looking after you Al! Understanding your work ethic, I am really surprised you weren't back on the lift as soon as you got back fro the ER.
Good to hear it was only a soft tissue impact, nail / staple guns are the biggest cause of injuries on the building sites here in Aussie land. Rest up Al hope it settles well for you
Oh my goodness I'm glad you're going to be fine, sore, but fine! Tell you the truth, I thought you had broken a bone from the posted picture!!! So happy you're ok!! 😊
Looking at these “old” videos is fun! Gina milking goats, the corn-pone music-which I love, and the “old” homestead. You guys can really count your many blessings. I hope things are as good or better today as it was when this vid was published.
I’m so glad you weren’t hurt more than you were. That was really scary. It could have been so much worse. I’m in awe of you all building this latest project. It is really amazing.
Scared me to death when my daughter yelled, “Mom, Al’s been hurt”. It was bad but I thought you fell off the lift! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!!!
i saw the face book pic and first thing i thought was yuppers, Al is trying to fast he needs to slow down sure enough, he is rushing himself hugssssss to all from Canada
@@recoveringsoul755 Yes, but sometimes stating what we think is obvious helps those who are too close to the problem also see it. Our comments most likely won't help Al and Gina out now, but they may help if there's ever a similar type of incident in the future. They certainly could help somebody else who happens to read it and might remember for themselves, later on. Oh, and never underestimate how much it relieves the commenter's stress.
Hello Al and Family!!! I am very glad that you didn't get yourself in the bone with that nail. God had his angels watching over you on that one. Gina I like the new Hope T-shirt, you made it look great. Sometimes things happen when you get into to much of a hurry. All you can do is slow down and know that if you have the lift or not your family is very resourceful and will figure out a way to get everything done and be safe at the same time. Your family is an inspiration to all of us and I want to put up a huge thank you for what you are doing. Keep up the great work.
When the air nailers first came out we were sheithing the roof of a condo unit we had framed down in Manchester New Hampshire. When nailing sheithing it is tempting to hold the trigger and just tap the gun on the plywood. One of the boys on our crew ended up nailing his heal to the roof. We had him mostly cut out. We had to cut out a section of the truss and the plywood. The fire department got him down off the third floor roof with the 2x4 and plywood still mailed to his hesl. You have to be very careful with nail guns.
Glad your OK. Use the nail (painted with the green nail polish) to hang something near one of the barn doorway's to remind you to work safely every time you see it.
Yikes it’s good you decided to rest up in my years as a first responder I have seen individuals go into shock with less so your so very lucky stay safe we don’t want to lose you guys
Oh my gosh!!! I am glad that you are ok Al. And Gina is right, you never want to pull out a nail just in case it is in an artery, bone or something else important. Praise God it wasn’t worse. I pray for healing! 💜🙏🏻
I understand how you feel Al. A week ago I caught my thumb in my table saw. Did not cut the thumb off but ripped a decent size chunk out. Nine stitches and a now numb thumb. Accidents do happen. Emergency rooms are depressing. Three hrs for me. Be well and be safe. Love your builds.
Never , never ever ever put your finger on the trigger until the gun hits the wood even on a roof gun ! Your finger is the safety on any gun ! I commend Gina for not freaking out ! Great job ! I hope you feel better this morning Al !
A dirty or messy work site or job is receipe for an accident
That's why I never use the bump feature
@@geraldcorbitt9626 I not sure i see the connection in this instance.

@@fubijar954 it's common practice for roofers especially, I'm not sure if all guns have it to where you can't do it 🤕🤕

normaly without touching the nose, it can not shoot. this is what you need totest from time to time, that the safety is still good.
it never ceases to amaze me how fast an accident can happen. glad you are ok
Glad you’re ok. Lesson learned, the hard way. Gina was so levelheaded, I would have been freaking out! Feel better, Al.
Yes! It took you like half an hour to realize that you’d been shot. I was stunned at your reaction. And Gina’s. Then I thought, ok which way was the gun angled. Thank you Lord that you spared Al and Gina today on the farm. Your mercies endure forever😇
Weapon safety rule #1 - keep finger off trigger. Escaped with a minor injury and a huge lesson. Build coming along great. Looks good
Almost all accidents happen when you feel under pressure to hurry. You're thinking more of finishing, not safety. I'm so thankful the accident wasn't worse. God bless you.
Thank God you're okay Al! The good Lord is watching out for you! And you're beautiful family! God Bless you and your family!

😂
Hahahaha
Bad-dum, tsss! :-)
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
"Praise God from whom all blessings flow" glad you are free from major injury
Al, glad you're okay. The first rule of any impalement injury is do NOT try to remove the impalement. Stabilize and get to the ER.
Yes ! If Steve Irwin had done the same , he would still be alive today !
Michael Schiller is correct. Do not remove. If the foreign body is into a blood vessel, removing it can cause severe bleeding.
Another great Stevie gone too soon. RIP SRV, SI, and Stevenwolf. 😇😇😇😇😂😂😂😂😂
Al, That has to be the final nail that you hammer into the building! Undies attached lol. You're both so handy with your nail guns, very envious of your skills! take care!

Morning. Winter 2019, I slipped on the ice in the driveway and landed on my right hip. I felt fine until the next day when I was so sore I could not walk.

I find that injuries usually happened in the last part of a project. You get excited and lose a bit of focus. Speedy recovery, Al.
Did you hear us all shouting, " DON'T pull the nail out, Al!?" 😲
Hope you feel better now
It's amazing how a little colour lifts the appearance of food. That was a great bake! Sore one with the leg. At least you did not pin the tail on your donkey!😭. Strange how the body reacts.

Most carpenters have shot themselves. It will swell and be sore, glad it wasn't worse. Keep your boogerhook off the bang bang button. ;)
such wisdom, have never heard that phrase before, but I shall use it in the future.
Omgoodness perfect wording 🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Its better than a bullet 👍

Glad your ok. Award 🥇 of the day goes to Gina for remaining calm and knowing exactly what to do. Don’t touch it!
Glad to hear you are ok. Accidents occur so easily.
So glad to see you were okay. I cried for Gina, she was being so brave! You were Blessed!
No one can complain about click bait! Hope you feel better soon.

I just sent a prayer up thanking God for being there for you & asked for Him to keep you, Gina & Olivia safe.
You never know what could happen when you're building or even working around the farm.
I'm just thankful it wasn't a worse injury & I'm glad you're almost finished with the high work on the garage/hay barn.
Al, Gina & Olivia please stay safe on the homestead & especially when you're working on your buildings.
I know Gods got you all covered but taking your time & double checking for your safety is still your #1 priority.
Blessings to you & yours.
Sending prayers of healing your way hope you feel better soon.
So glad you are alright and you weren’t seriously injured Al, Gina you did not panic. Thank God.
I'm glad you were lucky and it wasn't too bad. I must admit I recently "stung" my thumb on a table saw when I wasn't concentrating. Fortunately there was only a tiny amount of blade showing above the wood. A valuable lesson to us both.
Someone was telling you to slow down and be careful. I am glad it wasn't worse. PTL. Hugs to you and your family.
Ouch this channel has more excitement than I thought . Get well soon.
You are like the Black Knight from the Holy Grail ( Monty Python) “ it’s only a flesh wound”
@@judie_pie what you mean long time ago? still funny i am 2nd and my son3rd generation still find it monty python hilarious. lol
Must admit real free accident, proud of your reactions of both of you, no panic you knew Jesus was with you. Aman
Glad that it wasn't the worst of an accident. I have had my share. I am so amazed as to how calm you and Gina were when it happened.
Ouch! Good mornin. Praise God you are no longer in pain.
Yup.
AMEN!!!
I hope you took several moments privately to thank whomever is looking out for you. That the nail went in at just the right angle to prevent bone penetration is something to be extra thankful for. Be careful, we all want thees videos to continue with you in them.
Ouch ouch and ouch, that so bites. I hope it heals well and soon
Glad Gina was right there with you when it happened. Such a valuable reminder for all of us to never work construction projects alone under any circumstances no matter your level of experience. An Epsom Salt soak is great to remove soreness before bedtime - if you need it. TFS!
Dang, glad that nail didn't get into a bone. Will be praying you're not too sore later. May God bless
So glad it wasn't more serious, get better quick because you still have to finish your garage/barn. Wishing you a speedy recovery and Gina well done for keeping calm 💖💖💖
bad joke coming: "you got nailed" well you nailed it, you did.
Yes and yes.
Great comment lol
I was going to make a joke, couldn't think of one.... it was worth a shot 😉😉😉😉
I'm so glad you are ok Al. Gina you were so calm and am very glad Al listened to your warning to leave it in. Accidents do happen and I appreciate you sharing your lesson Al so hopefully even one person will not have the same injury. Love the fall colors showing down your lane. Have a wonderful day
Someone was looking after you Al! Understanding your work ethic, I am really surprised you weren't back on the lift as soon as you got back fro the ER.
NAILED IT!!
(Sorry, I had to.)
😂😂😂😂
The Mindful Homestead 😳🤭
Good to hear it was only a soft tissue impact, nail / staple guns are the biggest cause of injuries on the building sites here in Aussie land.
Rest up Al hope it settles well for you
I never use bump on a nail gun 👍😊🦘🇦🇺
So sorry about your injury, and am very grateful it wasn't worse. Hope you don't suffer too much and heal quickly and thoroughly!
Oh my goodness I'm glad you're going to be fine, sore, but fine! Tell you the truth, I thought you had broken a bone from the posted picture!!! So happy you're ok!! 😊
Looking at these “old” videos is fun! Gina milking goats, the corn-pone music-which I love, and the “old” homestead. You guys can really count your many blessings. I hope things are as good or better today as it was when this vid was published.
Oh man, that was scary but your guardian angel was looking out for you😇
I’m so glad you weren’t hurt more than you were. That was really scary. It could have been so much worse. I’m in awe of you all building this latest project. It is really amazing.
I got a bit nauseous when I saw that happen ,so glad your ok ,it’s alway s when your pushing for a deadline that accident s happen ,stay safe
Just glad you're okay!!!!! Amen.
Scared me to death when my daughter yelled, “Mom, Al’s been hurt”.
It was bad but I thought you fell off the lift! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!!!
i saw the face book pic and first thing i thought was yuppers, Al is trying to fast he needs to slow down sure enough, he is rushing himself hugssssss to all from Canada
Thank God you're okay Al.....love looking at your family videos.Feel better.
Man the anticipation was killing me while watching the video! So sorry that it happened but yes, you were lucky... all things considered
Yeah, no kidding. We knew what to expect, but the suspense up to the fated moment was edge-of-the-seat material. Thank God it wasn't worse. 🙏
That's going to be sore in the morning hope you are all feeling well that can be a shock for the family keep up the good work
get the trim done before the numbness wears off.
Yes. You'll be sorer tomorrow.
you know they make these videos days before they are released, right?
@@recoveringsoul755 Yes, but sometimes stating what we think is obvious helps those who are too close to the problem also see it. Our comments most likely won't help Al and Gina out now, but they may help if there's ever a similar type of incident in the future. They certainly could help somebody else who happens to read it and might remember for themselves, later on. Oh, and never underestimate how much it relieves the commenter's stress.
@@recoveringsoul755 LOL really ? LOL
Hello Al and Family!!! I am very glad that you didn't get yourself in the bone with that nail. God had his angels watching over you on that one. Gina I like the new Hope T-shirt, you made it look great. Sometimes things happen when you get into to much of a hurry. All you can do is slow down and know that if you have the lift or not your family is very resourceful and will figure out a way to get everything done and be safe at the same time. Your family is an inspiration to all of us and I want to put up a huge thank you for what you are doing. Keep up the great work.
When the air nailers first came out we were sheithing the roof of a condo unit we had framed down in Manchester New Hampshire.
When nailing sheithing it is tempting to hold the trigger and just tap the gun on the plywood.
One of the boys on our crew ended up nailing his heal to the roof.
We had him mostly cut out. We had to cut out a section of the truss and the plywood.
The fire department got him down off the third floor roof with the 2x4 and plywood still mailed to his hesl.
You have to be very careful with nail guns.
That sounds much worse. Glad it all worked out v
@@LumnahAcres he nailed his heal bone to the roof structure.
I never saw him after that. I'm sure he had a long recovery
Glad your OK. Use the nail (painted with the green nail polish) to hang something near one of the barn doorway's to remind you to work safely every time you see it.
Yikes it’s good you decided to rest up in my years as a first responder I have seen individuals go into shock with less so your so very lucky stay safe we don’t want to lose you guys
Oh my gosh!!! I am glad that you are ok Al. And Gina is right, you never want to pull out a nail just in case it is in an artery, bone or something else important. Praise God it wasn’t worse. I pray for healing! 💜🙏🏻
Gina stayed so calm! I would’ve flipped inside out right off that lift 😂
I understand how you feel Al. A week ago I caught my thumb in my table saw. Did not cut the thumb off but ripped a decent size chunk out. Nine stitches and a now numb thumb. Accidents do happen. Emergency rooms are depressing. Three hrs for me. Be well and be safe. Love your builds.
