I'm just not going to do work today!

My ceiling fell. My landlord has attached a bucket to catch a leak.

What started as a slight sag just 24 hours ago, an ongoing series

24 hours ago, a slight sag appeared in my kitchen ceiling. Some joists have been removed. There's lots of debris and material collected.

Update: if everything goes right, we'll have the neighbor's drip resolved tomorrow morning and the ceiling will be back up by Monday morning 🙏

I've been in some really tough tenant situations, very thankful at the moment given my current circumstance!

It isn't great! Reportedly several things all at once: ruined wax seal on toilet, tub without caulk, and also a cracked pipe to boot, all from the upstairs unit. Not sure which of these things happened most recently...

With all of those things breaking at once my first thought would be to inspect the joists to see if the floor is sagging.
