The Ceiling Is Falling

So,  I completed my past two hotels and they opened for business in May and June of 2013.  Of course if you have looked at any of my previous posts you know the construction quality left something to be desired.  So no surprise that a few weeks after opening the ceiling in the lobby of one of the hotels started to fall down.

There are many reasons for the ceiling to collapse first there were not enough hanging rods.  There were very few hanging rods at the leading edge of the drop which is really bad.  The rods that were their were not anchored properly.  But the silver lining in the whole scenario is that the contractor had failed to put in an access panel to a piece of air handling equipment that was up in the ceiling.  no body knew it was there until the ceiling started to fall and you could see it!
