Abstract: On March 8, 2006, Employee #1 was working with his son to build a garage with a studio apartment above it. They were on what was to be the floor of the apartment.

It was determined that, at time of accident, Employee #1 was lifting a bundle of lumber inside a wire frame basket with a homemade hoist that was not properly secured. The fall could have been caused by a load shift or a failure of the hoist's attachment point.
