Small spaces were never my favorite, maybe due some early life MRI scans, dunno. Anyway our crawlspace was always damped and needed too be insulated. I saw the contractor's price and thought...i have too face my fear. So i did, spiders are no problem so i wiped those away...made a good light path and lifeline :) i had too crawl a lot through cramped manholes to reach the end for the start. My breating was too high at the beginning so the panic rose...but i managed too fixed it and kept my focus on the job, it worked with some minor relaps wooo! I was soaking wet afterwards, but so proud. Thanks for reading this small fear victory.

Awesome job overcoming it but as a tech that's in many crawl spaces. That one there is what we pray/hope for but never get it.

Had that done on mine. They spray foamed the sides which seals the plastic sheet in. Best thing ever. No earthy smells anymore.

That crawl space in EMPTY. Mine is full of block support columns and a/c ducts, wiring, cables, pipes…

In my field of work, I spend 90% of my time in them. I'd sleep in this one. Good Job!

Awesome! Did you fill the whole darn crawl space with insulation so there is no more crawl small place? Cuz that would be problem solved!

I've been working in confined spaces and tight spots for over 15 years , and they never bothered me until the last few months 1/2

2/2 now I get panic attacks and start to freak out. My coworker was behind me in one last week and I went mental. Idk what happened 2 me!

As a fellow claustrophobic, I commend you. Mine stems from being stuck in a small two person elevator that decided that a 7yo is too light..

Spiders. So many spiders! No thanks! I do all my own home repairs but not crawl space stuff.

Never any real xp with tight spaces, but not a fan. I watched a caving video the other day for some reason... my heart rate increased..

I used to love caving, then a few years ago I was in a tight crawl and started panicking. Gotta have room to move my arms and legs now.

I feel bad for yall, I have a fear of very open places.Seems more likely to find yourself stuck in a closet than suddenly on the GreatPlains

to sense any occupancy. So it decided to go to sleep. Internal buttons didn't work. Awful design.

What the fuck kind of design is that and how did it pass inspection? After thinking about it I can't even come up with why it work like that

Bro. Why are you on imgur if you're still stuck in the elevator?

2 years ago | Likes 35 Dislikes 1

Grew up in the elevator, eventually became heavy enough to reenable the buttons

Hacked the buttons to connect to the imgur api, easy
