My Mom needs help with collapsing Ceiling.
Hello,
New here and I need some help. Actually my mother needs help, but I need your help before I can help her. The Toilet above her bedroom flooded the other day and quite a bit of water leaked down through her tiled ceiling into her room. So her ceiling is trashed and I would like to attempt to fix it. Although I have never done anything like this, she does not have the money to call someone to fix it. I've enclosed some pictures. From what you see can I just go buy some 12" tiles and put them up? How hard is it to put those up? I tore some down and it seemed simple enough, but things always seem that way till you get in there and get your hands dirty. I tried looking for websites with pictures or directions/instruction, but found nothing. Well here are the pictures. http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/2531/1000740i.jpghttp://img9.imageshack.us/img9/4613/1000739r.jpghttp://img11.imageshack.us/img11/8236/1000738l.jpghttp://img15.imageshack.us/img15/8392/1000741nmp.jpg Sorry for pictures sizes, it wouldn't let me post a link to smaller thumbnails. So is it possible for me (someone who's never done this kinda stuff before) to fix that without calling a professional? Thank you very much for your help. |
Go to any home store and you'll find those ceiling tiles. They have a tongue and grove type of application. You need a heavy duty hand stapler to install the tile. Put them together on the floor first and get a feel for how they are installed then go to town. Staple the tongues on to the wood furring strips. Use a utility knife to score and snap the tile when you need to cut them. Make sure the leak is fixed first!
