Q: Ever had a bathroom disaster that turned out fine in the end? What happened, and how did you manage it?
Yes, bathroom disasters … the “rustic” look might be fine for some, but yesterday half the ceiling in my bathroom came crashing down. It’s one of the downsides of living in an 100-year old house. Apparently the previous owners had attached the plaster and horsehair up there with spit and paint and gravity finally decided enough was enough.
So I spent today prying the rest of the ceiling down, fitted out with a stylish respirator and goggles, since lime dust and asbestos are a thing, I’ve been told, I don’t want to be breathing in. Wasn’t that hard … filthy and disgusting, to be sure, but not impossible. Next is hanging the drywall, but this part was what I was worried about since who knew what I was going to find up there? The desiccated corpse of Jimmy Hoffa?
Another bathroom disaster averted. Happy days!
