Oh dear.
The green patches just crumble when touched.
We immediately called Gordon of Gordon's Narrowboat Services and even though it was Sunday evening he called us back within 15 minutes.
He came over the next day and pronounced it not as bad as first thought.
He thinks there has been a historic plumbing leak which has left water in the bilges. As the carpet tiles were rubber backed and formed a pretty good seal, the wAter has sat there for a long period of time.
The carpet tiles have been thrown away. Holes have been drilled in some boards to allow ventilation. Gordon has patched up temporarily and will fix after the summer cruise.
He has assured us that this is from before we bought Magpie II but we were extremely deflated by it.
One more thing to worry about.
