Work on the floor begins with having to re-cement or lime mortar in some of the loose stones after removing the rotten boards. Brian will then work to fit the reclaimed boards back in place on the top of the wall. Luckily when we fitted the bathrooms out we kept all the old floorboards as we tiled one of the floors and put new floorboards in the other. We needed to get perfect levels for the showers to be fitted, hence new floors. These are the boards he is now using.

We do not have much experience with cement or lime mortar, so we thought a call into dad would be useful, so he could share his years of knowledge with us. I was able to reach him on FaceTime, which was better as we could show him what needed to be done.

After we had chatted it through, the decision was made, in this instance to use cement. As we had some cement and sand already we were able to move forward.

And so it begins…..
