Home Projects: Facing Your Fears

I think everyone has certain things they don't like.  For me, one of those things is going under a house with a tight crawl space. In fact, I absolutely hate it. But, sometimes you have to face your fears. I think that facing our fears can make us better in some way, once all is said and done.
So, on that house I'm redoing, I needed to go under and clean out some old ductwork. I have that thought that if I get stuck underneath the house, it's not going to be good. Naturally, I want to avoid crawl spaces. Below is one of the areas I had to go. This house has very little space that you are not flat on your belly. The flash on my camera blew out the floor joist.
