OOPS

No, we did not go  to the Frye today.  This is a shot of the ceiling in our living room.  No, it wasn't the snow, or the rain or the wind.  The workers who had started the project on Tuesday who had to leave early because of the snow came today and sealed and prepped the attic for new insulation.  They were all ready to leave when the keeper was taking a phone call in the living room and just happened to look at the ceiling, and then the floor, littered with sheet rock, plaster, and paint chips.  Cecil had been trying to tell her about this all afternoon and she thought he wanted to go out. Maybe she'll listen next time.

Come to find out---the framing on this extension of the house was done improperly over 20 years ago before the keeper ever moved here. And it wasn't noticed until two big guys stood on planks over the ceiling, that's when  the whole ceiling cracked.  I guess we are lucky no one fell through.  Yup, this will be a little larger project that we had imagined. Go figure. We might have to go spend a day at a kitty day care after all.
