I've been hanging doors all day today, all was going swimmingly, until i came to hang the last one. I planed it, chopped hinges in, and offered it up to the frame and put the first screw in the top hinge. Foolishly i had put my cordless on the floor behind me. Not a problem me thinks, so without thinking i let go of the door, turned round, picked up the cordless and turned back.......WALLOP........ the 1/2hr fire door smacked me square on the forehead and ended up pinning me to the adjacent wall. Now for my stupidity, i have a lovely bruised line from my eyebrow upwards, and a headache. So i'm going for a lie down and a nurofen.

I used to do insulation on the sites years ago. One Friday, a load of 714 joiners were being laid off, but the site manager stupidly told them in the morning.
Every door they hung that day had a working handle, latch and the stops in the right place, but they were all hung from the top, like cat flaps...Do you know that, with a 50 character limit, it's

Excellent!
I would have fitted the latches and striker plates but not drilled the holes for the handles, then closed the doors as well.
