A spider and cricket invasion has prompted repair of a really inadequate floor patch. The patch is the remainder of a completely inadequate "fix it" of a frozen pipe. Some bimbo handyman ceremonious tore up the floor and put this flakeboard patch where tongue and groove pine boards had been. Yes, he too must have been a flake...hence his use of flakeboard....LOL...
We seem to be regularly running into extremely large hairy wood spiders (last month it was crickets) way too often to please either of us. Methinks the floor patch with a giant void under it is complicit in the drama. Snuffing out the offending party is beginning to be a daily occurrence, so it seems Mr has put the evidence together coming to the same conclusion I did. The spiders are coming out of the ugly, inadequate floor patch. Today, Mr took it on. I'm posting some before and in process photos, the finished product photos will follow in the next post.

Old houses are a never ending soap opera of fixing old inadequate repairs.....handymen should have to swear out the Hippocratic Oath " do no harm" before unsuspecting customers allow work to be done! |
That's a amazing post that I have seen for a long time. Giving example with photos are really helpful.

Better than nothing. Job well done.
ReplyDeleteYeah, That was certainly my evaluation...better than nothing! Sometimes we just have to settle, especially with these old houses.
