Woodworm treatment
Woodworm treatment
Upstairs in the barn is one large void (15m x 6m) with old oak beams and bracing and cross pieces. As you can see it looks fantastic and I hope to leave much of the best woodwork exposed when renovated. There is evidence of woodworm on some of the structure, so just to be sure I have sprayed, using a garden spray, wormwood treatment on all the wood. I bought a 25L drum but ended up making an early afternoon trip to Rennes to buy another two drums. I've got one left for the ceiling beams downstairs. It was a horrible hot job, goggled and masked up, balanced on a wobbly working platform with a 500W halogen lamp warming the place nicely, not to mention the 200 m2 of black slate 'radiator' above my head.
