I strimmed the lawn and tidied up the garden. ok, so its maybe not going to win the Chelsea Flower Show this year, but hey, it looks a whole lot better than before. In the garden we found a gas pipe which had been closed off and an air brick that was full of soil. So thats obviously why the living room wall is wet. We assume, maybe wrongly that the floor was probably wooden in 1815, hence the air bricks.
Rob has been cutting out the plaster for the re-wiring and lighting. From this picture you should be able to see the internal valley better. Its on the left hand side. We have a roofer too who is going to come back to us in a few days time with a quote. Lets hope he actually does!
The lady from the Council has also been to visit the property and has stated that she shall recommend to the panel that it is not habitable at present. So we dont have to pay 2 lots of council tax. Yipee!
