Thank goo...Sorry you had to go through that ordeal! Thank goodness you had mostly "un-set" your table. I usually leave mine up for a few days too (or sometimes actually use them ... for serving food!).<br /><br />I have friends who had a celing fan fall in their bedroom, during the night, while they were sleeping. Fortunately, it's a big room, and the fan wasn't directly above the bed ... but still! <br /><br />I'll be looking forward to your next tablescape. Here's hoping it's calm, relaxing, uneventful ... with NO casualties at all!<br /><br />BillBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15467769804679511645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8445101225590239389.post-71377380587914085642009-08-29T06:58:11.025-07:002009-08-29T06:58:11.025-07:00Holy smokes!

Poor Maxine took the bullet for all of you!<br /><br />We have one ceiling fan here; I think I'll have it checked out just to be sure.

When we had oour home built, I wanted overhead lighting in all of the bedrooms and we had all of them "braced" in case we installed ceiling fans. Bracing is just extra wood in the ceiling to support the weight of the fans and to keep them from falling. Not sure if this might help.<br /><br />I am really glad no one was hurt.Dream Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351348027973964625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8445101225590239389.post-71495906963236075982009-08-27T20:23:40.081-07:002009-08-27T20:23:40.081-07:00Unbelievable!

And yes, RIP, Maxine, bless her little mottled feathers..<br />That could have been a disaster...<br />Did you call the company???<br />Really, it scares me, our 4 little gkids are always running around in the den where the ceiling fan is!<br />Me thinks that company is responsible, at least for a proper burial for what's her face! <br />Seriously, they should pay for the installation of a new one and any damage to the table too!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323768335143979148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8445101225590239389.post-83130281928015797142009-08-27T18:55:39.504-07:002009-08-27T18:55:39.504-07:00OH My Gosh; what a scary thing to have happen..
