All signs of the old doorway have now gone.

Finished
I’m now sitting in the garden, with a beer, listening to the baby woodpigeons moving around in the tree.
I’m paint spattered and dusty, but content that the spare bedroom, which was once two bedrooms, is now finished.
As is usual with any couple, there were disputed finishing touches. I asserted myself, though, hanging my old, beloved Cyndi Lauper poster.
Which was quickly replaced by William McCarthy.

Windows
Almost 13 years ago, when needing to have the dividing wall between the two back betrooms taken down and rebuilt, I glimpsed the potential of the rooms as a single room.
The two identical windows made it obvious that the dividing wall wasn’t original to the house.
And, now the wall is no more, the windows can be seen as they were intended.
The plaster’s still drying in places, and there’s still a lot to do, but the result is better than I’d expected.
It’s been the messiest job I’ve ever undertaken, complicated by the unusual angles in both rooms, due to old structural problems.
