"The sky is falling" - The sky is falling" cried Chicken Little. But come next Monday, Chicken Little wont be making a peep - much less a cock-a-doodle-doo. Just when we thought it was all over, our sky was falling too. Little by little the ceiling in the living room started making it's way south - to the carpet. We actually got to the point where we stopped having guest over for fear of the ceiling crashing down upon guest's heads. We even got a bit nervous for ourselves while watching TV on the sofa - wondering if the ceiling would fall upon us and knock us unconscious while watching "Joey" as if that alone won't make us unconscious.
We moved all the furniture out of the living room and computer area so that the carpenters could get to the ceiling without any hindrance. They said it wasn't necessary but for fear of getting dust and rock wool into the computer and sofa's, we decided to take all of the furniture out of the room. We thought the ceiling falling was bad enough but when we saw black circles on the carpet showing our everyday paths of walking, we knew we had to rent a steam cleaner and get cracking!
The carpenters came and worked their magic on the ceiling. Then the following day we cleaned the carpet, let it dry and started in on the walls with filling holes and slapping up fiberglass felt on the walls and then paint the whole schmear. And i must say.... it looks great.
