This is third time the walls around the front portion of of our cottage falling, with heavy rain since August this year! It is a worrying experience! Obviously the workmanship is not good enough!
It brings in to focus a new dimension to life in a village! There are lesser number of skilled workers for specialised work now-a-days. Those who are available are older people. Although experienced, I suspect they are tired and less enterprising!
This is an existential question. To be good stewards of property is a challenge! Sometimes it is a burden !
The restoration of the property since the flood in August 2018, is still continuing. One immediate outcome of the efforts is that the water flow form the leaking canal has stopped since we did the plastering of the walls. The perennial water flow through the property has ceased which would be beneficial to the nutmeg trees.
We inherit these assets; to be keepers till we shall relinquish the control is a duty. However it shall be fruitful exercise when it becomes a pleasure ! I wish it would be so!
