Our House is Collapsing - ourfrenchrenovation - Our French Renovation, The Good LIfe

There are always ups and downs with renovating a house. This weeks had several downs.
We discovered our house was basically collapsing under it's own weight.
What started off as a simple bedroom redecorate ended up turning in what many would consider an absolute nightmare.
The front of our house is leaning forward to such an extent, the roof's A frame is too small to sit on the walls.
There are huge cracks in the granite walls and many of the large stones have cracked clean through.
Our lounge is now full of acro-props.
Previously, we had been blissfully unaware of the extent of damage a broken gutter and missing window had caused on our house.
We'd bought a house that had been abandoned for over 30 years and apart from patches of lime render falling off, it appeared to be in pretty good condition. However, under the remaining plaster and render hid disaster.
That's what you buy into, when you take on a derelict property.
The good news is, all the material to fix the damage is relatively cheap. All that is needed is good old fashioned hard labor and time. Something we have plenty of and we enjoy giving.
Our decorating plans have been turned on their head, so we need to re-shuffle priorities to get the house water-tight and safe whilst the sun shines.
Previously, many of these jobs needed doing purely out of good working practice, however now they need doing out of necessity. Essentially, nothing major has changed except priorities and timescales.
Wish us luck because I think this is going to be a long hard slog....
