There's some rot in my kitchen...

...what am I gonna do?

Its like a goth's bedroom with all this black lacy stuff draped everywhere...

It's wet rot this time.  There was a dry-lined, insulated, metal stud wall on the window side, and look what was behind it.  Yet again more proof that modern impermeable materials in an old house do not work.  The rot is in all the wood, and most of it has the consistency of soil.

Discovered a wee alcove behind a cement false wall, and the lintel is knackered.









Big Hammer sorted it though.  All off, let it dry out and replace rotten wood.  Simple.  Really!

 This will make a nice alcove with shelves in the new kitchen.

A sample of the wiring - this is for the oven.  The back wire is a piece of steel wire poking into the soil on the other side of the wall - a crap version of an earth.  Again, the solution is - all out, replace properly!
