14 going to 32.
Eric, I self inflicted some pain this weekend, too. Went into the crawl space under the house yesterday to put some outdoor Christmas decorations away. Initially, the crawl has about 5 feet of headroom, then decreasing further back to about 3 feet. Enough to tempt me to try to bend over or squat and walk, rather than crawl. Well, my wife went inside the house, thought I had gone down to the barn and left the crawl space door open. I had just crawled further back, out of site, to look around and inspect. She came out and locked the door...from the outside. No way could I get out. So after a few minutes of yelling and knocking up on the floor joists, she rescued me. I was squatting where I should have been crawling to get out, and ran smack into a ductwork steel strap hanger...scalped myself of about a 3/8 inch piece of scalp and hair hanging off. What a mess. I asked myself: why didn't I have a hat on? I usually wear one with a headlight when I go under the house.
