The Mr thought he'd tidy up the caulking around the edge of the window ...
He pulled a bit of paper at the edge of the frame and a little bit of plaster came away.
He pulled a bit more and some stone came away.
He pulled a bit more and part of the ceiling came down ...
... along with horsehair, bits of old newspaper and black dust!
It never rains, but it pours ...

Oh I have a Mister who likes to do just that - and it always follows him saying things like "I'm just going to do a little job - it'll only take a few minutes". Good luck x Jane
Oh deary me, this is dreadful! It's always the way isn't it? A small job snowballs into an epic project. x
Oh that happened to us,it started with a little hole and turned into a whole flaming ceiling !!! xx
At least its stopped raining!
Is it drafty?
we have just pulled our fireplace out....mess and dust everywhere!
D x
Hope the mister hasn't created too big a problem. It was probably for the best as it must have been hanging on by hardly anything, and could have crashed down unexpectedly on your heads.
Ah yes how I remember the black dust and horsehair!
OH HECK!....I have a Mr very much like this too....A little job almost always turns into a BIG job! Fingers crossed it stays dry this week, Mrs VJ....Do let Us know how you go on...~With the kindest thoughts...Maria x
Well at least you can now do a good job which will last for years. Then
I would tie his hands up before he can do any more damage......

Oh no!!
Hi Marina.
We will be on you in May, today I booked the ferry.
I hope that you will be happy :):)
A hug, see you soon, *Maristella*.
It looks horrible Jane. Hope your husband can make it look beautiful again!!

Oops!! My hubby once did that and he pulled out a birds nest with the skeleton of a bird still in it, yuk!
if its any consolation our shower just exploded- water pouring out everywhere...
So sorry about this, hope you get i fixed soon.
Ps. Have donated to Gretel, thank you for the information.
Have a good week.
OMG, that looks like a serious amount of work is needed, if you'd wanted it to come down you'd have been up there hours chiselling away at that little lot, Lucey x
Oh no you poor thing.
Oh No! This is how our kitchen will look later in the year, but at least it will be planned for! :) x
I sympathise, we had a whole lathe and plaster ceiling fall down once and there is so much dust. Once it is repaired it will last another 100 years! Julie x
It´s funny how a picture of that, can be so beautiful. Love the colors in it!=))
Hugs Camilla
Oooooops!

What a pitty but it's also funny!
So interesting to see what's behind the surface! Though nicer for me, looking at a photo, than you, having to live with it.

Oopsie! Why is it that it that things come down very quickly but will take far longer to put right. Hope all better soon.

Hello Marina,
What a shock, you poor things, that can be so scary when you don't know where it will stop (we lost a whole stone barn once from just removing a plank!). Good luck with the repairs - never cheap! Looking on the positive side at least it will be nice and solid from now on!
Ivan
Ha! been there, done that! x
Really hope that you can get this sorted out Jane because it sounds like a real nuisance that really shouldn't be like that for too long, sorry to hear that this ended up happening, I know you guys have enough problems with your home at times without even more occurring.
Mr N hacked the plaster off the wall around our bay window today so you have my deepest sympathy! (He just doesn't see dust!)
Oh dear - this looks quite a familiar sight....one tiny pull of paper and a whole wall tumbles inwards! Keep end goal firmly in your sights and all will come good
Best wishes
Jenny
Oh no!!!! Quelle nightmare!!
Good luck!
Gill xx
Oh no! I hope the Mr wasn't hurt in the process :(
