The animal control kid fell through our ceiling

We have an attic animal issue that is being addressed. Weekly, the kid from animal control comes by to collect the traps and set new ones. Today he came by and I heard something not right and ran out and he is hanging through my ceiling! I said, "Oh my god, are you okay?" and he got himself back up and down the attic steps.

He is okay, very shaken up and needed some water and to sit down for a bit before he called his boss and my landlord. Plus he swept and vacuumed everything for me, but man! Now I have a big hole in the ceiling. At least it is in the garage! 

Yikes! This happened at 430, when I have to go get the dog from day camp so I had to call DH to leave work early to go get her, call them to let them know he was coming and arrange payment for today to be tacked onto next week's bill and just what a mess.

That was my hump day! 

Re: The animal control kid fell through our ceiling

  • Holy crap, I'm glad the kid's OK!  You did luck out that it's in the garage at least and not the main part of the house, but what a pain.  Bet you're glad you're renting though!
    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

  • The poor kid.  That must have really frightened him and you!  As Rock said you must be REALLY glad you are renting. 
  • Oh man! Sorry that happened! I'm so glad that kid is ok.

    We had our ceiling fall in at our old apartment due to water damage. It happened in the bedroom. It was such a nasty, smelly mess. Just a pain in the butt!

    I hope it gets repaired soon!

  • That's crazy! I'm glad there wasn't too much damage (besides the hole) and that he took care of cleaning it up! That just sounds like quite an afternoon though!
  • Hahaha the poor kid!

    I hope they fix up your garage soon!

  • Wow!  I'm glad he's okay.  That must have been very scary for both of you.  Did you put something over the hole so the animal(s) won't make it into your garage?

    The LL has to come do that- hoping to see him today. The hole is seriously the size of the kid- he's a good sized kid, 6 feet at least!
