My thoughts...if she's an interior designer, then AC must have hired her to work on his house... If she knew it was an old firehouse, wouldn't you assume there's a hole in the upstairs floor somewhere? I dunno, maybe that's too much to ask? It said it was uncovered...it's not like he threw a rug over it waiting for someone to try out his new trap door. I mean, how big are one of those holes? Like 3-5 ft in diameter?
