Woodworm and hungry beetles

13 December, 2008

This week at the big house I've been helping record the treatment of woodworm.  They have to protect the gilded wood prior to treatment.  Of Course the item to be treated has a huge marble top so it's not like we can move it to gain access.  We also found a carpet beetle, the hungry little gits chomped through quite a lot of fibres and he's very choosy, won't eat the dark colours, prefer's green and sable!!

They are moving and inventory marking a huge painting in the gallery next week so I'm going in to either film it of photograph it.  Should be great fun.
