..............when the floorboards came up in our dining room....our builder (my son) said he was surprised we had not fallen through as the joists were so rotten.....I will admit that the floor did creak a bit and 'bounce'......however....progress later, when he removed and replaced with lovely new damp proofed wood. That has added a few days work to the job............we didn't find any buried treasure though !
@wakelys I know.........our dining room is kinda damp anyway......it faces North and only gets minimal sunshine.....and we are built on granite which is not the best 'drainer'.....
@blueberry1222 haha....didn't set out that way....we only wanted fireplace removing and wall plastered !!!!! (oh and moving an old radiator and installing a new one).....:)
@ludwigsdiana He is an excellent builder and plasterer. He has built us an enormous garage, tiled our large driveway and paved our side path (so far).....
Good thing to be corrected.
PS the treasure is there....you just haven't found it yet, me hearties!
