...and before any concerns, I'm putting a rubber door stop in the floor.
Unfortunately, before anything else can be setup, there's work to be done. Below is the other side of the wall. The house has had to be near enough rewired, new consumer unit installed and I lost count of how many new wall sockets have put in. Shrimp tank on request of Mrs. Puddle will in the kitchen.
I thought I might buy a new tank, a larger one. Maybe another Juwel of a Fluval or even an Aquascaper, then thoughts went to maybe having a reef aquarium with sump again with a RO supply from the kitchen though the wall. I did say about taking the wall out, installing an RSJ so the new aquarium could viewed both sides, great plans but...

Some damp issues, which is no surprise really as the house was built around the 1850's we think judging from records from the land registry. Section of the map below dates from the 1860-64 survey of which I purchased a copy from the Ordnance Survey office.

I find it amazing to think that when this house was built there was no seawall, no road, no power supply or water, only a path and the nearest house was the farm house below.
