Woke up to a white out. Steady drive to work in snow covered hills! The weather deteriorated further. After doing all essential work, Jen and I were allowed to leave a bit earlier than normal, so we could drive back home in daylight and before conditions got any worse. ⛄ 🌨

I had a job to reverse up onto my drive, but made it eventually. Lit the fire as soon as I got in. Had to move my fur covered single sofa chair/bed away from the window alcove in living room, as water seeping through the wood panelled section of the walls under window and with new curtains up and new carpet laid underneath, it needed air around to breath – I was worried about the new carpet getting damp/wet and this now seems to be happening 😩😒. The house either needs re rendering or insulating or both, who knows! Far too many water issues with this house, but invested all my money into it, so will have to stick with it, plus I love the house – it will all get sorted eventually, fingers crossed. 🤞😊
Happy New Year Penny, hope it's a better one for you this year! Is it worth going back to the surveyor and asking him about all these problems you are having with the damp and water ingress? Might be worth taking up the new carpet as well, before it gets any further damage. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI can only hope that you can sort out the problems with the house. As the birder you are, Shetland is the only place for you and fingers crossed it all works out. Meanwhile I will content myself with 2 trips a year to north Norfolk. Lessxxx
