Stop in for a cup of coffee

Hi folks.

Just thought I'd drive by to show I'm still alive. We're out in the summer house doing a little renovation of the guest house. It's a brick walled old house that has had an addition made to it a long time ago.

As always with renovations, surprises pop up. In this case, an old ants nest revealed serious damage to part of the ceiling, wall and floor in one corner. The wall itself is brick and mortar so that's ok, but the drywall (old style, rather soft fiber sheets and wooden ribs to support them) was all eaten up in parts.

In the other room, old water damage appeared in one corner.

We thought we were almost ready to prime the walls and now we're fixing floorboards ...
