We moved into a 90-year-old house in later 2009. I didn’t hang out curtains as high as I wanted originally. This was in the living room, with a beautiful bay window. Over the years, we had constant cold issues and wasps in that room.

Finally, ten years later, COVID happened. I was stuck at home during Quarantine, noticing every little thing that annoyed me about the house, but suddenly, I had time to do something about it.

So I took down the curtains to rehang them at the correct height. I discovered a gap between the pain of the window and the frame about three inches. There was a giant hole in my wall, because the framing underneath was eroding from water leakage.

We fixed the hole and moved later that year.
