Because Mr Agreeable says NO!!!
@Mike_S,…Do I see correctly,.that you have got a water-damage.?
It looks like a broken copper-tube.
In Sweden,.it is forbidden to have hidden joints on water-pipes,but in older houses this is still common.

Yes, water damage. We think at this stage from the plug outlet on the bath above. Fixable, but will need to repair 1/3 off the ceiling and will probably add a ceiling hatch. Nothing compared to being in the Bahamas.
Wouldn’t go near flat packed myself. I never understand a manufacturer who expects me to buy something from them and then put it together myself. I do have a Quadraspire record cabinet, but my dealer kindly assembled it for me. Same with the Fraims. No IKEA in my cottage.
I know a couple of clever folk who built their own speakers and very good they are, but way beyond me, At school I was taught how to solve differential equations, but not how to use a screwdriver.
Oh dear. I came home to a kitchen ceiling like that earlier in the year. Currently my music room looks as bad but for different reasons - I’m just having three new spurs fed into the room.
Oh Mike, what a ghastly thing to happen. Hope things are back to normal asap - Ian
I made a right pigs ear of assembling the Quadrspire , now got it right.
I hope you can get everything fixed as soon as possible and that adding extra sockets etc., will make up for the inconvenience.
the black boxes are safe, the most important
Renovation, or damage?
Renovation, but it was a right mess. We cooked in the garden for a month.
Fortunately I was at home, The ceiling was about to collapse. The drill came straight out and I released the water into a large bucket to save the day. A Nova, Core, Totem Hawks, 65inch OLED TV, Bluray and two iMacs in the office!
You did well there Mike.
We renovated our kitchen 4 years ago, over the June and October school holidays. We cooked in the courtyard in October. I quite enjoyed it, it was like camping, but Rae missed a proper kitchen. Rebecca has never liked loud noises, so the various projects have been planned to avoid to much disruption to her. We had the in-laws farm to crash in over the years, which was hardly a hardship.
Building the Fraim was easy and very satisfying. Makes you appreciate the design and build quality of the parts. And why you spent so much on it - kind of.
We actually enjoyed cooking in the garden with our camping kitchen under the gazebo. Here is the kitchen today, with the beloved Qb. I’m part way through resealing the granite, hence the lack of stuff and the bottle of Rejuvenata. It’s wonderful stuff.
• 1.The majority of the world’s population thinks differently,.as Swedish IKEA is one of the world’s most successful companies.
• 2.We are all different,.Luckily .
