And here the house is in colour, the tree was cut down and has regrown! Everytime we have a high wind storm we worry it is going to come down on the house.
Almost every room has been renovated, insulted and painted. Peter is painting the 3rd bedroom as I type. As we have done with all the rooms we have documented the process and the treasures we have found. This room is no different.
A piece of newspaper
Where the old trap door for the “back” stairs once was. They were taken out in the 1970’s
The old lineoleum made to look like carpet! Under that was newspaper and on top was carpet. We will paint the floor.
Peter carefully cleaned out between the floorboards, vacumming many years worth of dust and dirt as he went along. He showed me these treasures, two long needles and a button. I could tell the button had writing on it so I searched on Google by typing in the words “Ne Plus Ultra” + button. In a second came the answer, the quote means “of finest quality”! These buttons were known to be “underwear” buttons from 1820-1880. He found many pins and needles but we will just keep these!
