I have a problem with my ceiling... its starting to cave in/dip down. Im not really sure whats causing it, and because of the location i cant go up in the attic and see whats up. I painted the ceiling yesterday and it was fine. Then i woke up today and the ceiling was dipping down in about a 4x4 foot area but i have no idea how painting could cause that??
I dont have very good knowledge about the layout of a ceiling but this is what i think...
There are beams going accross the top and 4x8(or12?) drywall boards are nailed the the beams. So in my room, 4 feet from one wall the ceiling goes upward a little, and im assuming thats where the first board ends. And 4 feet over is where the crack in the wall is. The cracks go along about a 2-3 inch strip for about 4 feet long right where the wall is caving in. someone told me to put in screws through this strip and it should connect to a beam and support it. I nailed holes in the strip but couldnt find anything solid. whad should i do??
