Lesson One: How Not to Put Up an Adhesive
Ceiling.
If you look closely you will see that I've created a really unwise way to
keep the ceiling tiles up and in place while the adhesive dries. At
the top you will notice a loose 4' length of 2X4. It in turn is
wedged into place without the aid of nails by a 6' vertical length.
Below that is a loose block followed by two busted up scraps of dry wall,
and all of this is precariously balanced on a wobbly footstool.
If left to be it isn't that dangerous, however I'm working around it
(while watching TV, no less) so what we have is a recipe for a concussion.
I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally nudged it, noted
movement out of my peripherals vision and had to rival Mikhail Barishnikov
as I flung myself out of harm's way over exercise equipment and sharp,
deadly power tools.
(I doubt Barishnikov screamed like a little girl,
though.) |
