The hallway (before renovation)

actually, these pics were taken after we'd removed the first lot of heavy plastic-y wallpaper which was concealing yet more yucky stuff. We had to take down the ceilings because they also (it turned out) contained pretty yucky stuff, too. Lovely! But never mind-because this gave a chance to put in some insulation, and conceal some wiring and plumbing. There is no cloud without a lining...The original flooring (the small tiles-some of the local shops are tiled with identical ones) turned out to be literally as slippery as ice if they were even slightly damp. We've replaced them with heavy duty large non-slip tiles throughout the kitchen and hallway area.
