time to fix the ceiling

While I was at home over Christmas of 2007, the apartment upstairs developed a leak in the toilet seal which destroyed a patch of my bathroom ceiling. Clearly, I was not responsible for the damage and the woman who lived up there had it repaired. Well, it wasn't exactly a lasting repair. About a year later, the ceiling began to crack and sag. After about another 10 months, the ceiling looked like this -


After beginning refinancing processes and having the appraisal done, we decided to have it fixed. Why should we wait until we put it on the market? We should be able to enjoy not worrying about the ceiling falling down on us.

In progress... it sounded like glass falling down as he took all the damaged plaster down. He had the door closed the whole time.


He came back the next afternoon to sand, prime and paint the ceiling. It looks great!



The wallpaper, however didn't fare as well - it was pretty dirty after and the parts of the wallpaper that need to be fixed were more obvious.

this is the worst suspect which normally hides behind the curtain.
