This week, we discovered that the wooden sills at the rear of the farmhouse were nearly rotten away – there were no diversion gutters in the house for years. No choice but to tear the wood out, let it dry out, and replace the clapboards and beams. The wood was so rotten Ben pulled most of it out with his bare hands. No second bathroom this year.
