I really wanted to have photos of lovely, clean, neat exposed stone walls to share. I went to sleep last night thinking I only had the middle section of the last window to complete. Nearly done the hard parts! Let’s go!

I had a gap along the bottom of the wall, same as the other wall and I pulled the loose rocks away to find a large hole behind it.

There is an air brick there, which confirms my thoughts about it being for ventilation. But it’s painted over on the outside, which may explain how damp it is on this side. I could pull the floorboard up and see the effects.

This is where I lost heart a bit and went back to bed for a while. I started these walls before 18th March and felt like I was on the home stretch. Any extra work just felt like too much today.
