  • How I have been renovating for a year and still find things that make me think "WTAF?" There's a hole in the side of the chimney breast, presumably from a redundant aerial on the stack. They drilled inwards and knocked out a stone, and instead of knocking up mortar and breaking the stone down, they rolled up yellow pages and tissue, and packed the hole and painted it.

    There was an open fire that was frequently lit.

  • Classic 1980s DIY hack.

    We pulled out a load of early 2000s newspaper from ours. Was being used as draft excluder.
