That would be a good title for an old school creepypasta.
Yeah, how disappointing!
I thought it was going to be a world war 2 story
I've had a contractor put their foot through the ceiling accidentally. They fixed it, of course. I'm just glad it wasn't me.
One of my best friends did that in high school. While his parents were out of town he threw a house party and everyone smoked weed in the attic. While up there, he stepped through the ceiling. The parents came home, found out everything and had to get a contractor to come fix it. Right after the contractor left, he went up there and was surprised by how well done the work was. While testing its strength, he put his foot through again. The contractor had to turn around and redo the work.
Iβm just glad it wasnβt me.
Yeah, a human with a foot going through them is a lot harder to fix than a ceiling, so I'm glad he didn't put his foot through you either.
Get one of those class room skeletons to shove up there for next time they visit.
That won't do much. You have to put a hornet nest prop(or inactive specimen) or a realistic stuffed raccoon right near the entrance to the attic that is in a defensive pose.
I almost fell off a ladder when I pushed up the hatch and my flashlight swept across a dummy hornet nest meant to dissuade actual hornets from nesting. I had a great laugh when I went to get a photo of the giant "hornet nest" to show the client and came to understand the reality.
Does Willie Nelson live up there?
He just wants some juice.
