Fasting on a chimney repair seemed like a good idea at the time...
The world started spinning just as I was reaching for the top brick, and I had to sit down for a solid ten minutes...

lol it's wild how many people try to power through basic stuff like eating when they're in work mode. I see it all the time, that feeling of "just gotta finish this one thing" and then your body shuts down.

Yeah that sounds like a seriously bad mix. Your blood sugar was probably in the gutter, and being up that high is no joke when you get lightheaded. I get trying to push through a job, but man, you gotta eat something before you work on a roof. Could have taken a really nasty fall. What did you end up doing, just calling it a day?

Actually @davidprice sometimes you gotta finish the job even if you're shaky. A quick break can be enough without quitting early.

So did you actually finish the chimney after that break, or was the day just done? Pushing through dizziness up there is a fast track to getting hurt.
