Blakesley in the sun
It's been a real challenge cleaning up and trying to stem the spread of water in a property which has limited heating, conservations issues and no real tools. Solution? A serious disregard for clothing, 3 determined young women trained in conservation and jay cloths, lots and lots of jay cloths.
Windows!
Attic floorboards
Jamming gaps to the outside wall with cloths, lots and lots of cloth!
Hopefully the house will stop leaking water soon, but if the rain continues like it has today then it could get to the stage of a sheet of water across all the floors and some serious structural instability in the attics - eek! only time will tell.
Until then, well I feel like a human sponge!

what a gorgeous place. So sorry about the rain and stuff. I live in a house that was built in 1869 in the historical district of parkersburg so yea I know all about that kind of stuff.
ReplyDeleteMatter of fact we just had to fix a leak not too long ago.
It sucks when mother nature wants to come inside wheather we want her to or not.
I hope you have had some good luck with this
