The joys of living in an old house...


Our house is old, how old we are not sure, but we think it was built in the late 1700's. We are slowly renovating and have just (almost) finished the kitchen, hopefully will get some good photos soon to put on here but here is a peek (you should see the chaos in the rest of the room).

Our next job was to be an easy one, the spare room, hahaha....

We thought we would just clear the room, give it a splash of paint then lay some carpet...

Until we found this behind some of the junk we had stored in the room..


Oh the joys, now to find the leak...

  2. I feel your pain. Our house was built 1884 and we have this problem in almost every room. I have no idea how to go about solving it...
