Timbers supporting the house? Unusual for a Vic house. Do tell.

Are the flight holes recent? What "structural" timbers are these,
floor joists? I don't see how timbers would "support the house"
for this sort of building.

I guess we'll just have to wait fon Mr. Phillip to tell us...


If the timbers are not damaged enough
to warrant replacement, the cure is simply to treat them. Most
old houses will have some woodworm - it's "normal".

Just to point out that this is not usually the best course of
treatment in most cases.

Er, why?
