My sunroom has a flat roof with a deck on top accessible from my bedroom. I like to sit there on warm evenings and watch the world go by. As flat roofs tend to do, it recently developed a leak. I contacted some people to fix it and the first question they asked was: did I want them to just fix the leak or replace the whole roof. I told them to replace the roof. They started last Tuesday.

Unfortunately, a couple of days later after they had taken up the old roof, one of them slipped and put his feet through the sunroom ceiling! Even more unfortunately I was directly underneath when it happened, and a chunk of sheetrock bounced off my head. Luckily, it was thin and very light. After the initial shock I took stock and no loss of consciousness; no blood; no bumps; not a trace of any pain. So, all’s well. He said he will fix the ceiling, which I would probably have had to do anyway.

He’s very thorough. He removed all the debris and fixed the ceiling. Even brought his wife to clean and vacuum everything afterwards. Now I just have to repaint the ceiling.

All’s well that ends well.
