Lets all be honest now - I'm sure I'm not the only one who has done this.

And the acid question is, did you straddle the joist :shock:

This happened a while back. I had just put up the last of the plasterboard and was lifting the 8x2 boards in through the hatch which is just the other side of the door.

Took a step back and down we went.

But there was a tenth of a second when I thought 'Hey the plaster board is going to h.....'

I skimmed the joist with my arse and fell on the rolls of rock wool I had stacked below.

What a result :thumbright:

I have come close a few times, but always managed to avoid doing it so far.

I'm sure it'll happen one day :!:

I haven't been through a ceiling, but have lenat on a pipe which was supported by a 10mm threaded bar sat on the platerboard, which went through!

Luckily was above the garage! I was working with a colegue on a weekend job, and we had the landing boards up, he came down the loft ladder, and stood in the hole, through the ceiling, had to come back & plasterboard the ceiling, then pay for it to be artexeted again.

I did once screw down the last floorboard & put the screw through the new heating pipe I'd just layed! oops! :oops:

Slugater was lucky, it was a new ceiling, simple to repair... not so good on the old ones!
