My children share a fairly large room. I'm pretty sure we had the ceiling done only a few years ago. There were absolutely no bulges or any sign of trouble.
Last night around dawn there was a terrible crash. A third of the ceiling simply fell down DS1 says he heard it splitting off and hanging (he had no idea what the noise was) and then it fell.
I hope you can see from the picture that it is a really big area and that the ceiling around it appears to be in good condition.
The only think I can think is that a few weeks ago we were moving a beam two floors down and this made the whole house shake and vibrate. Do you think that might have been it? That is loosened it along some fault line?
We do have an apartment above it owned by a nightmare neighbour (hence the username) but the plaster isn't damp so I can't reallythink it's anything he's done.
They won't be sleeping in there tonight!
