How do I cap this off❓Paid a family member to drywall the bathroom, but now there’s bare drywall around the window and doorway. Do these need reframing❓

Found this for free would you keep it or throw it away? Be honest!!
Should I fix it or leave it as is?

Dad built a new patio feature.
'The mortar needs another day' — my father, every single afternoon for two weeks.
He made three separate trips to the landscaping supply yard for more flat slate. The whole family had to help carry the heavy base stone across the lawn on a moving dolly. It cost a bit more than a standard store pit but it should last forever.
The neighbors have officially stopped asking questions about his weekend projects. 😅

I picked my first cucumber, it was gross and tasted like ammonia. How do you know when they’re ready to be picked?
