Tried to descale my espresso machine. Made it worse. Probably should have done a full translation of the instructions instead of getting the gist of it and saying "eh, close enough." Definitely have to take it apart and see what I can clean piece by piece now.
Upside: I think I needed to replace a seal somewhere anyway. While it's disassembled I can also incorporate a scale like I've been meaning to. Let's see if I can set up data logging. And water treatment; I definitely underestimated how hard the water is here. If I need to replace parts, I get to learn more things!
Downside: I REALLY hope there isn't any irreparable damage to the expensive bits. I know the boiler in my generation of Gaggia Classic is better than what they're producing now, so I really hope I can restore that fully.
Practical side: this is going to be a whole project and I'm not going to have espresso for weeks, am I?
I have lost two coffee machines trying their "descale" feature. Now I only fill with pure distilled water.
And I take a mineral supplement later to make up for the demineralization.

Anyone else think it’s simply perverted how those in government are SO interested in how and where everyone relieves themselves? Seriously, As long as the person ahead of me leaves it as clean as they found it, I don’t give a rat’s behind who they are.
This obsessive fixation on everyone’s genitalia must certainly be at least a perversion, and possibly even a mental illness.

@GoatsLive Exposed roof beams with peeling paint and white mould between planks in some photos. Furniture in the room under them has mould stains growing up from the bottom. Could be water leakage from heating system too, but with the roof beams it's probably roof. The roof is not shown anywhere (suspicious), but the sections that are shown show tile roof in bad condition. Depending on how long it's been leaking that can mean rotten structural beams.
