Oops

Yeah... so Gus fell through the ceiling this morning while laying down some new insulation in the attic. He's fine (thank goodness), but the ceiling's not! Guess we have a new project to work on! The crash was incredibly loud... Nikos woke up from his nap briefly, but went back to sleep. Charlie, on the other hand, is still skulking around with his tail all bottlebrush-y. On a side note, Gus would like to point out just how thin the old insulation was. We definitely need the new stuff (though a ceiling is also helpful for lowering energy costs).


***UPDATE - 6:45PM***
After lots of advice from my dad and a hard day of work, we have a ceiling again! Hooray! We need to get drywall tape tomorrow, then spackle the gaps and apply ceiling texture, then paint it... but I think it's going to be okay! Hallelujah! Gus says he's a little bit sore, but he's not sure if it was from working in the cramped attic or falling through the ceiling. It is amazing that he did not get hurt-- not even a scratch! Here are some pictures from today's progress...

Oh my god!! That must have been really scary. I'm so glad Gus is okay. And I'm very impressed with you guys making a new ceiling already!
