10 August

Finally today having this sub-floor ducting removed. (Not a pic of our place.) Added like many homes, for gas central heating years ago. Blocked a lot of the sub-floor ventilation, leading to rising damp in one of the rooms. And restricted access to the whole space. Only Russell ever managed to reach the far ends of the sub-floor, and he’s a caver. Having the gas capped to that side of the house too, only instant gas hot water remains. It’ll be replaced with a heat pump in years to come, so we have free hot water too.
