Floor Furnace Gas Older Part
QUESTION:Today the chimney sweeper was there, a very nice guy.
He detected that it rained some month through my houses roof
and that some of the wooden beams and the cob-fillings between
them are soaked with water. This led to a severe gain of weight on the
beams.
It might led to a collapse of the ceiling/floor due to exertion.
Those beams are connected to the roof timbering and, if that floor
collapses the roof would be affected as well.
He told me to immediatelly lighten this Floor/ceiling. There are ca.
40 cm of old roofing tiles and debris lying there, so I have enough to
do the next days. (Puhh)
Once the weight is lifted away, there should be no trouble anymore.
The cob-fillings and the beams will dry again.
But - I just detected by digging in that layer of debris, that the
wooden beams which appear then are rather rotten. I hope they don`t
have to be replaced sooner or later.
I don`t have any money for that.
And - heres what I need the purrs for:
I am really anxious at the moment.
Please send purrs for my roof not coming down.
For drying out fast and for the beams to last a little longer.
Puhh - it is lovely to be the owner of a house which is older than 100
years. Solid stone, yes, but the wooden parts.
ANSWER: Hope everything will be okay, Bettina. Mega purrs for Intact roof and
sound floors! And of course, for fast drying out of all the affected
critical parts. Although he seemed a bearer of bad tidings, at least
you found out in time to do what you can to correct the situation, and
did not, unexpectedly, end up buried under the ruins of your house
with no warning!
