Burning down the house

The house was nicely warmed up last sat night. She did us proud,Number 50,  by not falling down that is!

The aftermath.....
They were a few terse moments as the floors bended and buckled and we were pretty sure that any minute our guests were going to disappear through a sink hole beside the fridge. Dancing is permitted but only one person at a time, there will be no riverdancing in the foreseeable future.

I know there is a strong possibility that a group of  Irish boozehounds leaping around enough to cause a house to collapse would probably make international news.
'irish immigrants lose the run of themselves and disappear into pit' I bet we would have earned a mention from Ray D'arcy!

Even as we sat in the sitting room this morning we felt the floor spontaneously drop an inch or 2. The cupboard door literally will not open properly now because the door frame is off line.
Hopefully we'll get some more tremor warnings before the whole thing goes. But I've already spoken to the lads who unfortunately for them happen to be living in the drop zone below us. They have agreed to place a few cushions around the floor to soften our fall.

There has actually been some marked sinkage since we first moved in. The first day during unpacking I found I felt a bit naseaus as I walked around the room, mentioned it to Anna and she was the same. Curious...
As I smacked into the doorway for the 7th time a lightbulb went on....

The ill feeling was sea sickness from the pitching to and fro like a drunk sailor in my hill sloped bedroom. That was 6 weeks ago...the 20 degree angle is more of a free fall run from the window to the door.
