Mystery Window

~Home Haven Getting A New Window Installed~

See that upstairs middle window?  

Well, it use to be closed off.  
A window was there, but so was a plaster wall behind that window.  

It's been that way for... gosh only knows 
how many years.

1950s wallpaper was found 
inside the mystery wall.

Found on internet.  Close to what was there.

When looking at the house you can see light shining from the window like it was before it was ever sealed off.  Somebody along life's way sealed it off to make one large room into two smaller ones.

Husband visited with neighbor man that has lived across the street 58 years of his life and said that he thought the room was made into two rooms back in the 50s for a couple of boys.

When we bought our rock palace the wall was already gone making the room a large one again, but they left the old window still covered by an interior plaster wall.

Grins....there were vines inside this little mystery window area.  We looked at old pictures of the house to see what was going on with that window.  

The window was covered with green, ivy vines 

so you couldn't see the fake middle window 

all. those. years.

 

Hubby has been wanting to install a newer window and repair the plaster wall in our bedroom.

We're making headway!

~PHASE ONE OF BEFORE AND AFTER~

BEFORE:  Window not there in the room.

AFTER:  Window there in the room.

Not in three easy steps.....

On a beautiful Kansas day where the wind wasn't blowing 
and the temp was about 85 degrees.  A beautiful day to do this task.

Can you find a man in this picture?
When you find the man in this picture....
whistle out loud then twirl three times in place 
then post about it on Facebook.  
Just kidding.

ALL in a days work.
More to follow.

God bless and all the best,
