Interruption



This is what I came home to today... before I was allowed to actually look at it, the contractor explained that everything was under control and that I should not be alarmed that there was a GIGANTIC hole in our ceiling. Of course, I tried not to panic but what the...!? They had plastic over our desks and computers, which was fine and all, but once the man started stepping and leaning on my desk, I was immediately concerned and alarmed.

The reason for this sudden interruption was because they were putting the wooden floor in the kitchen (which is directly above our office) and accidentally put a nail through our floor heating system, which heats through tubes of water. So, to fix the leak, ta-da. A huge hole in our ceiling. Of course, I appreciate that they caught the problem immediately, rather than realizing later that our computers were soaked in water from the leakage. However, now we will not be able to sleep in tomorrow morning because they're coming to patch the ceiling at 8am...fun, fun.



Side note: The red cables is part of the radiant heating, and what the contractor had to patch. I guess the tubes are attached to sheets of metal, which is what spreads the heat to the floors.
