I had a few suggestions from friends on facebook which all sounded pretty messy and destructive - and since the living room has just been decorated on the insurance after a flood in April, I'm not keen on making big holes in the walls either side of the window. Now it's getting colder and darker and I want curtains! But don'tknow what to do. However as soon as he started drilling the plaster just crumbled and what was meant to be a small hole just kept getting wider and wider! So we gave it up as a bad job and left it - the worst of the cold weather was over and the nights were getting lighter so we weren't so bothered about having curtains up. DH borrowed FIL's masonry drill and set to work. Decided to fill these in and attempt to put the rail up slightly lower down on undamaged wall. It left a lovely big missing chunk of plaster on both sides. It's become apparent over the years that our walls are not very good at holding things up.Įarlier this year the curtain pole in the living room came off the wall, it's been there since we moved in and I assume several years beforehand. We bought our house 5 years ago, a terrace probably over 100 years old.
