Ok, I have been very busy all day, and didn’t check what this challenge was until 11:44pm. We have been watching a portion of our ceiling with a crack in it get lower, crack get bigger, ceiling getting lower, etc, all summer long. Knew it was going to come down soon, but was hoping it would wait until it cooled off a bit before having to tackle that job of repair. Well, we were just sitting here this afternoon and NOTHING was vibrating the house when BOOM!! That crack gave way, and the first part came down. Then the second part came down. We lost half our ceiling. Had to leave the house for a bit because of all the dust, couldn’t breathe! We got all the broken drywall picked up and moved outside. Then we vaccuumed everything twice. So, now its an emergency and we will have to deal with it. However, my idea of DH bracing it up a bit would not have worked. All the nails / screws REMAINED in the ceiling. So, the next several days will be spent going to buy the necessary items to repair our ceiling. FUN!!! Point is, we do have bug out bags, but they need fresh supplies, and we will NOT be sleeping outside tonight, still too hot and humid here, and we will need a good night’s sleep to cope with everything for the next few days. The GOOD news is, neither of us were seriously hurt by falling ceiling! Always look for the bright side!!
