Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right

Ok, pretty sure I'm either going to have to cover every square inch of the underside of my loft with foam, or get a helmet. Because something here just isn't working. I hit my head on one beam, curse and bounce directly into another one, ricochet off that into a third...

The highly scientific studies I have been conducting in this regard indicate that hitting your head against things until your brain is a runny pudding just isn't as fun as you might think.

FOR SCIENCE!
