We have been in our new home for a year now and its not a newbuild, built in 1760. There are going to be jobs that I don’t want to do but need doing. This is one that is now underway, curing a damp problem. Turns out the wrong kind of plaster was used which is why I am taking it all off. Its turned into a restoration project and the wall will be kept bare as a feature in the house. Stage 1 complete, needs repointing with lime mortar which I will do myself. Also replacing the brick in the bottom right corner, cowboys have been around forever.
