This week’s prompt is Ceiling/sealing

Here is my contribution.

Our original Struisbaai home has had a lot of extensions and adjustments made to it over the years.   Part of our lounge used to be a semi-enclosed stoep (porch)   The ‘roof’ over it seemed to be fine and we didn’t have trouble with leaks or anything and then all of a sudden I looked up and thought – strange it looks like the ceiling is falling down – it was buckled and bulging and didn’t look safe at all.  I pointed this out to The Earl and he said – Mmmm – looks like we’ll have to do something about that – but it’s fine for now.  And so I ignored it. At first it was hardly noticeable but over the past two years it sunk lower and lower but didn’t crack, break or fall down!   The Earl place a stake on the windowsill to prop it us and said, “When we do the next alteration, I’ll have it fixed.”  The plans for the alteration have been passed but building can only begin in two months time.  Hopefully this ceiling will not fall down before then.

Please, Ceiling, don’t collapse before our next extension!
