Holey, Holey, Holey, Good God Almighty!



The work on the house continues.



Shit.




Contract add-on # 3.
So much for the vacation money this year.

Dunno if you are in tornado alley, but the old place looks like it is practicing....

What happened?

Could be worse - what if you lived in a houseboat with this problem?

But sympathies.

"What happened?"

:entropy, dry rot, neglect, years of painting over the problem and not digging in to it.

Actually this is the top of an old outside stair case taken out prior to WWII and cobbled over. We are trying to fix the fix of the fixes of the last 60+ years.

Tornado alley, yep, but with my current luck if we got hit this old girl would probably be the only surviving house. You should hear the carpenters gripe about how in the devil rotten wood can be so firmly attached together.

Houseboat?
If it does not stop rainning soon, i might be living in one.

FYI: they have just doubled the size of the hole. What the hey....
