Woodworm

As soon as the Christmas holidays were over a very nice man from Rentokil came and inspected our new house. You've got woodworm - we know that - and weevils in the floor in the bathroom - arghh - and wet rot - well that was obvious - and when the wet rot dries out it will turn into dry rot - oh dear.

Its all fixable so no worries there :-)

First of all chip off all the wet plaster and remove all the wet plasterboard:


Take out the toilet - and the sink might as well go too.



Underneath the bath

The Rentokil men spent two days - driving from and returning to Girvan each day! They removed and replaced the loft insulation is sections in order to fog the loft. They lifted floorboards in the bedrooms to treat under the floors. There was no infestation in the groundfloor so no treatment there.
