| Once the first floor joists were exposed, it was obvious that there had been wet rot in the joist ends where they were built into the front wall. |
 |
The joist ends were removed, and new joists, coated in bitumen, were inserted into
the front wall. The new joists were bolted to the existing ones. |

Bit shocking really. |

 |
Surprised that the floor had managed to stay up. |
|

Every single one had to be repaired. |
