We've been doing a lot of work on our house over the last few months. It began with damp problems in the hall (the inspector bloke said we had the full set: dry rot, wet rot, rising damp, weevils and wordworm), which meant new a damp course and replacing the floor. There were also problems in the dining room. So the upshot is a lot of replastering and redecorating. Cue lots of mess and expense, but considering how long we've been in this house with very few major problems we can't really complain. Anyway,when we stripped the wall over the stairs this long buried archeological treasure was revealed. It's a piece of ancient artwork dating back to a previous redecoration (we, er haven't re-papered the hall very often, just repainted). It has been carbon-dated to the year 1985 when Judith was pregnant with Daniel and feeling unwell. So, before it gets covered up again we thought we would exhibit it to the world. Does anyone have the address of the Turner Prize people?
