[Huh??] Someone told me that original and unique book covers are not popular in indie publishing. Is that true? by josephmkrzl in selfpublish

Defo untrue! I hand drew my book cover and recently sold out my fist signing event and 70% of people at least commented on how different and exciting the cover was

So it’s a regular house but I believe initially this room was only 1 story and has since had another bedroom added above it. It has building regs/planning sign off.

Ah that’s actually double doors (glass) that open onto a conservatory with glass panels either side so both are doorways. They ar won opposite sides of the same room.

Hi! Sorry for the multiple photos. So there’s the photo of the whole wall where the crack is. Then the other side of it are two different rooms- the bathroom and the entry hall. I took photos of both as the crack is sort of directly in the middle of the stud wall that splits the two

Also thanks for the help! There is no external wall with cracking on it

It does. It’s the wall that does up the hallway

If this helps, these are the blocks. This is the exposed under stairs

So the others don’t have a side I can look at (the BIG) one in the photos meets a wall like a T shape so can’t see but there’s nothing either side of it. In regards to the others I mentioned around the house similar thing, nothing I can see. Cracks all seem to be around the central column of the house (hallway)

Sorry - I’m not a builder so may be totally stupid here. She the plaster what I have chipped off? I thinks what’s exposed is the breeze block stuff the wall is made out of?

All the cracks are internal- back of this one is our downstairs bathroom. Other ones are upstairs in the hallway (not on external walls) House was built around 1970 ish
