Resounding BOOM!
Jan. 12th, 2012 10:37 amLast night just as I was starting on dinner, I heard a very loud BOOM. At first I thought it was with the neighbours, as we have wooden floors and things like these could very well be heard nextdoor. Lisa was completely shaken, so I calmed her first and then went to look.
I found my sewing desk in quite a state:
Please excuse fuzzy picture!
Glad to not have been working there at that time, I noted that yes, the boom was from our house. Gee, the wall looks really bad. Let's take a picture and then continue on dinner.
(At least it wasn't anything like the Great Crash at Lenny's place, right?)
The plugs have been pulled from the wall, taking a bit of plaster with them.
I sure hope this is not what's going to happen to our long shelf with administration folders in the living room. My sewing machines are probably fine, I'll be able to tell more once I dig them out from under the books. I guess I'll have to store the books elsewhere.
NoKey already gave me some tips on how to re-attach everything. "Just put some alabastine into the wall and put the plugs in that. They'll never come out again."
I have other things to attend to today, so I might not get around to that just yet.
Incidentally, dinner wasn't all it was cracked up to be. I am of the opinion that every cook should know a how to cook a good tomato sauce. Maybe I've just read too much Patricia Cornwell. In any case, it was far too watery and I probably didn't have enough wine while cooking (it's an Italian thing). Maybe I'll try again with tomatoes that have actually seen the sun in their life.
