A dream is gone.

We not only have mildew but dry rot in our walls, ceilings and floors. Not only in one room but in every room of the six in the house as well as the ceiling wood beams of the barn. As everything is worked into each other, the house might collapse in the next big storm. OH NO!!!

We had two independant scientists taking samples etc and both said the house and barn need to be either fixed ASAP or demolished because hey are not habitable. So this is it. This will be too much for our budget. We cannot buy a house that needs a good haul out and new walls and floors from the ground up. Sorry, can't do.

It is soooo sad :(

The damage is horrendous and will run up a bill we cannot manage. We knew manual work was needed but we are talking about extensive ground work and scaffolding the whole house to remove the wooden beams. Which means substantial refurbishment EEEEK!!! We can't pull that off.
