It's a little hard to see (rainy morning, moving car), but to the left of the cream coloured insert on this house, you will see that two large windows (1 upstairs, 1 downstairs) have been bricked up.
Seriously, who the hell bricks up two large windows in their house? That's got to kill your resale value - have these people not heard of black out curtains? Just another thing on the list of strange things I see on my way to work...In other words, nothing new on the knitting, beading front. I'll be back when I have better pictures.

Looks like more brickwork on the right side, too, exchanging a large window for smaller ones. Do you happen to know which direction the back of the house is facing? Is it blocking morning light or afternoon light?
Oh and resale value? What were they thinking!
From this side, the house ends up looking pretty grim doesn't it. If the goal was privacy, why not just plant trees or vines? Makes you wonder just what they are trying to hide.
Gosh, we want to break through and have more windows!
There is a house around the corner from us, and all the windows---even ones you'd need a ladder to see in--are covered in tinfoil. There is a strange man who comes every once in a while (it was once/month, now it's been at least two months) and pretends to live there or something. Yeah, curtains would be a little less obvious!
I hate windows being blocked - retailers do it all the time with tons of signage (not LYSs though!) and often windows in schools are bricked up or plastered cardboard cutouts and the like - I'm sure it makes architects cringe!
