Just started a new project this week, cleaning up/painting/minor reno a old crack house. Thought everything was cleaned out etc. Washing down the top of a door frame (not looking). Climbed up a ladder to get a better look, and found I had stopped wipeing 1/2 inch before a used needle hidden on top of the door frame pointing right at where my hand was headed!. Freaked out, and checked the other door frames and found 3 more. Needless to say I learned a lesson today!

What is with putting your needles there?

Or better yet, why are you renovating a crack house? :laughing:

sorry, I'm trying to get better...I keep running into trouble

Yeah that is a valuable lesson learned. The next time you renovate a crack house always look for dirty needles.

Easier than a drop ceiling.

Leave it to a dead-beat druggie tenant... when there's a knock on the door, ya gotta hide the dope somewhere.

I play with a (small flock of) metal detectors, in parks, schools, and playgrounds, and find 'em from time to time.... and bullets, pipes, and such.
Oh well.

One of my workers found this in a bedroom, like an idiot, he decided to put the cap back on.:jester:

See them all the time, in the middle of the street in some areas.

I can tell a drug house the minute I walk in, there's a certain smell and it seems roaches are attracted to crack too.

Geeze, you got lucky. No need to mention the possible consequences of a puncture by a needle. Gave me the shivers.
