I know. Ya'll didn't miss me. Once you learned how to find that banana pudding recipe, you didn't need me. LOL. That was Don's wife's recipe.
Electrical was a nightmare and had to be replaced so all sheetrock came down. Once the drop down ceiling was gone we found a ceiling tile that needed replacing. The ceiling had pieces that held each other up. When they cut holes for the new ac ducts, we thought the whole ceiling would fall. No, it stayed there for about two weeks. Then one day I was grading papers under it and it all fell down.... on me. All I could do was pull my shirt up to cover my eyes and nose. When my husband got home he said it looked like 9-11 in there. Blow in insulation was everywhere along with the ceiling tile. It took forever to get it out of my hair.
I know you are going to ask me Stinkfinger.....no, we didn't get a picture of me covered in insulation! Joe wished he had been home to take a picture. We did find the duct knife the guys left up in the attic. It landed next to my chair.
Then we found the duct tape that connected 2 wires in the wall so we took off all sheetrock. Live wires with no caps in the insulation. Kitchen electric plug tied in to the ac 220. Exposed 220 copper wires. The previous owners had used oak 1x4s to make that suspended ceiling. That had to be expensive.
