Last night I noticed water dripping from our kitchen ceiling. I looked at what was going on and thought, "Aha! That's where the A/C duct is. I'll be something's leaking." But I couldn't find anything.
When Geo got home from rehearsal, he went up and found the big, huge, wet spot . . . that was hiding under dry insulation. WT???? Okay, whatever.
So around 11:00 pm, while he's up in the attic trying to daub up the water, and I'm in the kitchen trying mop the ceiling dry . . .
Suddenly the ceiling falls in.
Thankfully, neither I nor any of the kittehs were under the patch that fell. And no furniture was damaged. The ceiling, it turns out, is made of 2 layers of cement board, which the water softened to the point of collapse.
We've had the A/C repair guy out, and we've got a claim in to the insurance company. I'm hoping it can be repaired soon and efficiently. Because we still have the bathroom to tile.
