Indoor snowstorm

Years ago, my husband and I combined families and decided to expand my house. As the remodeling progressed, an out-of-town trip seemed the perfect time for a subcontractor to spray the perlite texture to match the existing ceilings.

After arriving home, we noted the beautiful ceilings. However, everything else—the furniture, boxes and rolled carpets—looked as if we’d had an inch of snow. Despite their assurances that nothing would be damaged, the workmen, left alone by their boss, had covered none of our possessions. Though we cleaned for days, months later, as I hung pictures in our newly remodeled living room, I found white particles behind the glass of our wedding photos.
