The top floor landing has been niggling away at me for the last 5 years; looking at it from above, you'd think all is well, but look a little closer and you can see that there's actually two layers of floorboards under foot. It would appear that at some stage, a new layer of floor boards were simply pinned on top of the worn out ones below, which throws off the level at the edge of the first step on to the stairs:

Once the boards were lifted, it was clear to see much wider, original floor boards beneath:

The cavity below was filled with a natural insulation, a mixture of straw and other plant matter:

The nose of the landing now finally meets up with the first floor board:
