Despite their disrepair, they are quite pretty and can be rejuvenated with new glazing and paint. It seems a shame that they remain hidden in the back of closets. For these reasons, we have decided to move the library wall 12 inches and the bathroom wall and interior window 6 inches.

| Pre demo : Wall and interior window in the 1/2 bath |
The wall separating the library and the 1/2 bath was removed due to rot to the floor joists (see April 2011).
The joists and floor were replaced 2 months ago using rough cut 2 x 10s and plywood. Moving the walls slightly will give us a niche for a desk and we'll turn the space under the back stairs into a closet. In rebuilding the walls we used current day lumber.

The soon-to-be-more-beautiful window (I have begun the mammoth re-glazing project) is now exposed and letting in the afternoon light.
