[QUOTE="Spiff, post: 1111037, member: 404998"] A while back Channel Hopper there was a lot of drilling into house walls locally to test for that. : ) Sea sand was also frequently used to build, they used what ever was available : ) Recently several properties, that have been purchased by wealthy folks from up country as second homes, have been knocked down and rebuilt. I remember visiting Pat and Dennis who lived in the harbour some years ago, the internal walls had large blisters where the plaster was bulging, they just painted over it : ) When they passed their daughter had it flattered and rebuilt before it fell down, it is now yet another let. There is a nice large bungalow on the cliff that sold for a million last year, now they have applied for planning to knock it down and build two. I don't think in this case there is anything wrong with it, Alanna and I once painted the interior for David the owner who was a paraplegic and it had no damp or other problems. The wall where my mast is was built in the 80s as a pottery and is solid, the rest of the building was built in the 30s but fortunately it is fine. That is apart from constantly requiring painting. I think to start with I will remove the top bracket and take the old paint off with a heat gun, to see if the rust is just surface stuff. We used to have a forge in the village, Peter was a very precise gentleman but has now retired, or I would have had him make some custom brackets and had those galvanised. A lot of the local shops in the village and other services have gone now replaced by lets for visitors. God Bless Spiff [/QUOTE]
