Just as our outside space is starting to take shape, so too is the interior of our house; six more windows have been replaced: the big bay at the front of the house, a couple in the hall, a couple in the utility room and the back bedroom. Most excitingly, our much anticipated front door has been fitted.
Replacing the bay window fixed a leak which had rendered the windowsills rotten and damp and some nice fungal growth, which has been present since we bought the house ,should be gone for good once we finish the work on this room.
New Windows
A couple more of our leaks have been sorted too; we’ve had a plumber around to fix our boiler and filling loop leak, there was a drain off valve leak in the dining room which soaked through the carpet and left the room smelling of sour milk until I borrowed my parents’ carpet cleaner.
The downstairs toilet has been leaking since we moved in (though neither of us are brave enough to actually venture into the room as it’s so damp and disgusting) but the plumber was courageous enough to put an isolating valve in to cut the water supply.
As far as we’re aware, the roof leaks in the utility are the last of them (fingers crossed, eh?).
