As soon as the kitchen floor was sorted, the investigations in the hall showed up another dire set of circumstances. Apart from the woodworm and the death watch beetle damage, there is damage to the joists caused by the high level of soil under the floor. Excavation has shown that there's hardly a salvagable joist in the hall and the staircase is supported on a wing and a prayer! Ah, well. Nothing that money can't fix...now where's my lottery ticket!
