The Youthful Couple That Accidentally Purchased A Historical Manor, Began Revamping It Anyway

Stability

But why did the couple have to set up such a detailed and expansive scaffolding in the first place? We have spoken about Jameswood Villa’s stability issues at length by now, but look at the picture below for a proper example.

A strong wind could blow this front wall down, don’t you think? This bay window in particular was in desperate need of loving. There was no time to waste, or expense to spare, as the entire wall could come crashing down any day.

Demolished

Then there was the sandstone wall that seemed like it could crumble just by being looked at. This was no laughing matter for the couple that could so easily have found themselves buried in rubble if the house decided to give out. Luckily, they were blessed with a motley crew of friendly helpers!

You might also remember how we mentioned that Cal and Claire thought that the property was sinking into the ground? This theory would be proved wrong when they realized how much force the timbers had been exerting on the foundations.
