See that bottom piece of wood next to the tile- well it looked like it had been wet at one time and it kept bothering me. the bench was solid, but I just had this weird feeling. I decided we needed to remove the bench because I just couldn't get rid of that feeling! Look what we found
That is the bottom of the bench- MOLD so we kept going......
That is the exterior wall- completely covered in mold and rotted out- the wall studs are completely rotted off from the floor to about a foot up- the brick exterior around the front door had been leaking for years! We could see daylight through the walls and brick!
Then we looked up and found this gem of a beehive- it was the size of a beach ball- luckily its tenants had vacated the premises and this was all that was left. See we are the only ones who see the beauty in this house! We also found some live carpenter ants- so our entire front entry needs to be rebuilt! Bonus right!
This is above the front door- after removing the ceiling!
Jason removing the exterior brick so we can rebuild the foyer! When we got to the bottom the machine went right through the board and it was filled with holes. |
