Two decades ago I did a major remodel to the homestead. Tore off the old half story and built out the full space. We were out camping one weekend to allow the crew to do big things. I return home to find an 18 inch hole in my living room ceiling. All plastered up and stippled which does not match the popcorn in the room.
Now that we are contemplating the sale of the house, I wish the guy big pain in the nuts for the reduction in value this has caused. clay > On Jan 19, 2020, at 4:45 PM, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > I was helping a buddy do something in his attic once and he stepped through > the ceiling and ended up straddling a joist.
