In all the years of working as a sparkie ... we have had 3 ceiling incidents ... the first one many years ago ... a youngster who had never worked in the roofand 2 of them in the past 4 months.

The last one we had to replace a full panel and repaint the entire ceiling.

This time we have patched the ceiling ...however that is tuning into a nightmare ... we have already spent a full day trying to patch and paint ... now the ceiling has cracked and we have to patch again ... My thought is to punish the person by making him take a half day to fix his problem ... can I deduct it from his wages ... the same person who damage the other ceiling.
