holes in the wall

Today I was fixing last walls in the second room I was making last few weeks. You must be tired of this construction notes. Probably expecting more photographic oriented texts ;-) I am sorry, but you need to wait for that little bit more.

So I was fixing this wall after Viera took wallpaper off. As I looked over it, it feels like map of history. You can find small holes and you can guess: Here small picture was hanging and here few centimeters left some series of three small picture of somebody else from some other time was. You look above and you find four big wholes with plastic fitting in them. Probably some kind of bookshelf was fixed there.

As I was looking over those holes I was imagining people living in this house years back. What do they hang here, what they taste was like. Do they read a lot of books or they hang TV set there,or flowers?

My wall will be now nice and flat, I roll over the history made it difficult to discover, but still in future some new exciting methods of looking int the wall’s past will be discovered, I am sure about it.
