Part of my parents' living room ceiling collapsed this morning |
|
I came home from yoga to find a message on my voice mail:
"Help! We think either our shower or washer has sprung a leak, the ceiling in the living room is falling down."
Just another relaxing day in the life of my family. So I'll be moving a lot of furniture this afternoon (my mother is disabled and my dad has a bad back).
As Gilda Radner said, "It's always something." :eyes:

The weird thing is, it's not the roof. They have another floor above the leak, so it's probably the shower or the washing machine. I did manage to get my dad to call their contractor, who is on their way over there now.

I'll have to tell them that - they will appreciate that bit of humor. :D

At least I'm off the hook now that the contractor has just shown up. HE can move the gigantic entertainment center. I was not relishing the idea of having to do that. :eyes:

8. Well, after all, it looks like I'll be going over there to move furniture |
|
I think I'll bring a Xanax for my dad. He seems to not be taking this well. :(
When that happens, people around him suffer. Wish me luck. :(

My clumsy ass knocked in about a third of the ceiling in our nursery room this summer - itched for a week with the insulation. Glad the contractor's there. :hi:
