I've been lazy about keeping the blog updated but weekend work is still going on: Back in the August we started the laborious task of ripping out the door & frames and rebuilding them so they would all be the same height throughout (the size of a standard door). Three of the original doors had transom windows - my Bedroom, the Kitchen & the Bathroom while the Living Room, Second Bedroom & Office were without. For the sake of consistency I've decided that apart from the Bathroom to convert them into wall.
Transom windows were originally designed for purposes of cross ventilation and light, but if you've ever had a transom window above your bedroom door you'll understand the annoyance of being woken at night everytime somebody switches the hall light on.
