Looks like rain on the radar but it is simply one of those days that Huey has pulled the shade cloth over.
It would be restful but that the gyprock ceiling in the room where all the watch and clock stuff is, has started to fall off and there is a lot of shredded paper coated with Borax up there starting to pour down.
My wrist feels like it is broken. Arty ritis most likely. :(

Oh no! When the ceiling falls in that is very stressful. I have had that happen.

I hope that your wrist feels better soon. Can you bandage up your wrist to support it.

It there some one who can help you?

Or is this a soldier 🪖 on situation?

Be safe, part of the ceiling caves in then there might be other parts of the ceiling that could cave in. Do you have a helmet 🪖 and tarps to cover the floor?

Wrist is wrapped up. Thanks for your concern. Mrs rb isn’t able to do a lot because she is still using a walking stick when she’s not pushing a walker. I have to remove everything in the room and find somewhere else to put it. So maybe a lot of it will end up in the bin. Once it is clear, I have to run a stanley knife around at the bottom edge of the cornices. starting and hopefully ending back at the door before it all comes down crash.

I presumed mrs roughbarked was still in recovery mode with need for walking stick and a walker. It must be frustrating for her.

I had to remove all the stuff from the room after Cyclone Alfred and it is taxing.

Can you just cut the corners of the plaster under the cornices?

Then cut out one part of the ceiling at a time. Doing one part at a time.

This will stop the ceiling falling on you.

It’s really scary when a ceiling collapses on you.

And if it is heavy you might have troubles getting out.

Do you have a neighbour or friend to help out?

mrs roughbarked won’t be able to get you out from under a fallen ceiling.

So extra help is important.

Do you have a local SES?
