Do you like what we've done with the house?

I broke our house. Gus and I were up in the attic last Thursday evening, fixing a hole in one of our heating ducts. We were standing on the rafters, which - in most areas - are covered with thin sheets of plywood. As Gus leaned forward to look at something, I moved backward, missed the plywood, and the next thing I knew, I was hanging by my arms, with my head by Gus's ankles and my feet dangling in the kitchen below!

The damage:

























There was insulation everywhere!

























We tried patching it up as best we could:















Fortunately, a friend of ours used to build houses, so this evening he's here helping us fix it properly. :)

When I see those pictures, I can only thank God that you miraculously didn't get hurt. What did your physical therapist have to say about this little event and its effect on your lower back? Instead of attic trekking, perhaps you could take up safer sports like hang gliding or skate boarding or bungee jumping??
