The wood you see is not the original, it was so dry rotted it would not stay in place so we got away with redoing it because it had historical significance.Charlie B Wrote:Very usual when this unit was built in 1943.I must admit that surprises me even more as I would have assumed that wartime construction would have been more utilitarian.
