That's about an 8 x 10 foot hole in the ceiling... luckily, no one was hurt, and the only real casualty was Nana and Grandpa's chair - possibly fixable..
Tom and I are sick about it of course, but SO grateful WHERE it fell ( the most open point in the room, causing the least damage possible) and, even more importantly, WHEN it fell - at a time when nobody was standing under it.
.
We think it came down due to the years of construction that have been going on upstairs - all the pounding, nailing, etc... just loosening the plaster from the joists. And now? Well... we can't trust the rest of it - or the ceiling in the adjoining dining room either. Soooooo... Looks like we're back into Demolition/ Renovation Mode, tearing out the rest of both ceilings, *sigh*. But I'm painting flowers on my hardhat, and trying to fly thru this round with something like a smile. :)
