Christian and Francis (www.2009callingatlondon.blogspot.com) took possession of the house bought in London September 17, 2009. I arrived on site on 19 that month, the same year - Apart from the kitchen and bathroom the rest of the house was completely empty except for a few purchased mattress to sleep on the 18th I guess. The perfect English house wall carpet and upholstery everywhere. Armed with a knife (the first working tool used for restoration) we removed all the carpet especially in matters of hygiene. And there appears to our eyes meters of planking in larch virgin never treated: I could not believe my eyes - as you can keep a secret for almost 100 years such a beautiful thing covered with a carpet pulciosa? - At this point a question arises: who is responsible to give all glory to Qquesto wood dirty, dull and the weather has dried, leaving gaps at times 1 cm wide? - My desire to try it becomes uncontrollable and decide to rent the "sender" - When I see the fear and take me from that moment is called "the monster" - The beginning is tragic, the card is broken glass all the time, the dust also enters not tell you where - I often do in the garden to relax repeating to myself, you can do it !!!!!!!!!
all cracks were filled with plaster made of glue and sawdust - were used 3 sizes of abrasive paper - everything was painted 3 times with water-friendly product.
Finale adventure: I've lost 5 pounds - I'm proud of myself - we have saved at least 5000 pounds.
not perfect, some svirgolata done with the monster is obvious but it is a great satisfaction that I'll remember all my life. I have revived more than 120 square meters (!!!) of living wood.
