I just received a call from a new tenant.

Cox was out to install cable/internet. He fell through the ceiling in the den and wound up on the couch. He was not hurt, but insulation and drywall is everywhere. He's calling his supervisor.

Anyone have stories about stepping through ceilings or dealing with workers who have?

Yes. My wife spent all day making a red gravy for dinner. My leg goes through the ceiling and sheetrock, dust and insulation ends up in the gravy. She was not pleased.

Man that sucks. I can’t help but laugh but I also feel for the guy.


He more than likely has a level 10 case of swamp arse going on right now and has insulation in places he won’t get out for 2 days.

Now has to call his employer and let him know ‘I fricked up Boss’


Tell your tenant to offer the guy a beer

Tenant was thankful that her baby was not on the couch at the moment.

I had an uncle who fell through a ceiling while trying to repair something in the attic. He had no clue what he was doing. He then tried to tell everyone a burglar did it

My dumbass roommate in college fell through the ceiling of our rented house junior year. He caught himself midway and his sandals fell off. I tickled his feet as he was dangling.

I had a moving van back up my driveway and hit the brick next to the garage door. They hit it so hard the brick cracked and move about 3 inches back.

Needless to say, the moving company paid for the repairs and fired the driver.

My brother had one fall through his ceiling while he was mowing grass. My bother stopped the mower for something and heard a moaning coming from the house.

He walked in and dude was on the floor
