Re: Loft conversion
Nice one Barry, I'm a joiner myself so know exactly whay's involved with a loft conversion..
In fact I'm in the process of constructing one now in Edinburgh.
I've just fitted the staircase( double winder) and installed the velux above and it looks great.
Luckily the roof pitch on this bungalow was 40 degrees and the ceiling height was 2900 so head room was not an issue.
Worst job.......insulating between the rafters with celotex!! and covering the underside of the rafters with 25mm insulated plasterboard. .......Don't forget to plant timber on the u/side of your rafters to create your air-flow gap.
Btw ...I go home aching everyday but then I am in my 50's!!
