This week in my library room (a back bedroom), I had a minor leak coming from the 2nd floor bathroom. There were trickles going from ceiling to floor. Fortunately only one book was damaged. The adjustors say the plaster wall has to be stripped and the entire room repainted, a few floorboards replaced and the floor sanded and sealed. In addition to the usual week of work, I moved 1/3 of the books to the front room. I think the rest of the bookcases cases & their books will fit in the hall that runs to the back of the house.
On the plus side, I have two new, top-of-the-line toilets - a small joy. |
