Morning guys, carpet fitters are in at 12 today, so i will stay out the way. On the loft issue, the bloke that was in there was an indoor gardener, and got raided by the law, so now i know why it is so tight up there. There is old damp carpet up there, that's got to go. Then i can see what the flooring is like. On the bright side, there always is the garage i can build in.
Hi Dave. If you are going to use the loft, take my tip, go the extra mile with a Velux roof window (for safety's sake, use the 'top hung' type......think 'fire escape!') and get it done before you start with anything else up there. If you are a practical sort of bloke, it's a job you can do yourself comfortably in a day, though you will need an angle grinder with stone cutting discs to cut roof slates/tiles, other than that, it's a straightforward job, should cost you under £300 for a reasonable sized window if you do the job yourself (I've fitted 3 in our bungalow). If your access hatch is tight, take the opportunity to fit one you can get sizeable ply sheets through (mine is 6ft6in x 2ft6in), these are jobs you'll only have one chance to do, so do it before you start the layout, and you'll be glad you did! Keith.
Mmm. If its rented some of the work you suggested to the loft space in earlier posts would possibly need landlord approval.
Could be right there. Make sure you keep on the right side of your landlord or all your efforts could be in vain. Certainly to alter the structural integrity of the roof timbers or anything like that. I can't use my attic as it is all prestressed trusses which I can't move or overload. They are only designed to take the weight of the roof and I'd imagine a snow loading. One of the reasons I chose a shed.. Anyway ....... Good luck Sir. Cheers Toto
