Been doing some work in a old pub thats under refurb and the whole place is gutted , it was probably built between 1850-1900 as a guess ..we had to lift floorboards up some have been up in the past to install gas water pipes and electric cables but some of the ones had never been up and it was only when you are taking these up you realise the quality of the workmanship,although not t/g every joint was perfect the underneath every joist was exactly the same spacing also when we reached the gable end the mortar joints in the brickwork on the inside being hidden was done to perfection...alot of care and attention has gone into this and it would of been nice to find a time capsule ..when we have finished next week we are going to leave some( bit boring i know) ..I have worked in other properties built in the last 50 years and the quality of the work is shocking compared to the guys who built the pub...yesteryears tradesmen,todays cowboys
