Rude Awakening

We got woken up after midnight last Thursday because it sounded like a tree fell on our house. When we walked downstairs we discovered that our dining room ceiling had collapsed and chunks of drywall and insulation were all over the floor! This was the last thing I wanted to deal with on my last few days of maternity leave but the timing is never good for this stuff. We've had it repaired and the contractor that came to fix it said that the weight of the plaster pulling down on the ceiling combined with the weight of the insulation pushing down caused the 70 year old drywall to give out. What a mess!
