Falling Up.: Kirby's Kitchen.

Want to hear a funny story?

So my friend Kirby and his wife Katie have been married for a little more than a year. They live in a really nice house over in Winston-Salem. Well, like most married people, they don't really have anything to do, so they spend their days working on home improvements.

Like this kitchen. Last month, Kirby decided to tile his kitchen. But he wasn't going to spend the money to pay someone to do it; no. He was going to do it himself. And really, he did a pretty good job (this isn't the funny story).

Anyway, here is the kitchen before...

And here it is after... This project, as you can see,?turned out much?better than his last home-improvement project. About three months ago, Kirby decided he'd install an alarm system in his house. He used to work for an alarm company in Winston-Salem, and so he was more-or-less (mainly less) familiar with the installation process.

Well, at the same time he decided to run the wires in his attic, he also decided to put some brats on the grill outside to cook for dinner. You can already see how this might be a problem--Kirby was going to both install wires in his attic AND grill brats on the patio out back. Clearly, the attic and the patio are not the same place.

So, he's upstairs in the attic stringing alarm cable while the brats are outside cooking. And, of course, he's wearing bedroom slippers while he does this, because he's nothing if not always prepared for the task at hand.

But the thing about grilling (as you all probably know) is that the food has to be turned regularly. This presents a problem when one is covered with insulation in his attic. So, he'd run some wire, then hurry downstairs, turn the brats, and back up to the attic to do it again.

I don't know how long he kept this up...but on his way back down, he tripped over one of his slippers. He slipped off the rafter, and landed on the sheet rock...and you guessed it...WHAM! The ceiling falls in, and with it, Kirby. He caught himself by his waist on the rafter and hung there for a second before realizing exactly what he'd done.

And then, gingerly--very gingerly, he let himself down from the attic to the kitchen floor where he and his wife set about cleaning up the kitchen. I'll have to find the picture he sent me of the gaping hole in the ceiling.

Needless to say, after all that, the brats burned up.
