Removing the Floorboards
We want you to get a feel of just how structurally flawed the manor was. Let us talk about the living room floors to give you an idea. Prepare yourself for their poor state!
On the top floor of Jameswood Villa, the floorboards in one room had been so rotted out that it crumbled whenever someone touched the surface. Now imagine a person standing on them!
Safety First
Of course, this was very dangerous. That is the reason behind Claire’s decision to take them out altogether. Although it would be costly and require tons of work, safety is key.
It was better for the floorboards not to be there than have someone fall down without any warning. Since this was an equal opportunity project, she took it off all by herself!
