LESLIE: We’ve got Ann on the line who’s got a ceiling issue. Tell us what’s going on at your money pit.

ANN: Well, what happened is I have a large living room. At one time, it had been two rooms and they combined it into one.

LESLIE: OK.

ANN: On one of the sections, it has a metal or a tin ceiling. And what I want to do is install a ceiling to match in the other section. I located the manufacturer of the ceiling tiles.
