Are you wondering how the loft conversion is going? Well, the structural work seems done, but there wasn't much to see since the steels went in and the burglars put holes in our ceiling last April (!)
An example of the before -- just a dirty old Edwardian loft.
Happily now, I can report we have raised the roof (literally), internal walls and a staircase, Shower tray just went in end of last week. So, after a LOT of dust and debris - even with zipper door dust sheets -- here's how we look now -- albeit once the stairs went in we are sharing our home with builders 6 days a week. Hubby now in loft as I write, troubleshooting; admittedly he is much more patient and better at this than I am.
a real hazy dust storm of at one point!
Now the cupboards ... in front of the chimmneys - could there be a secret place in there?
main/guest bedroom
and the shower tray at last,
along with a bit of our Wisteria trying to take over the scaffolding
We even have an amazing skylight over the stairs (yes that is the temporary tin roof at the top of the scaffolding you can see through the skylight in this picture).
My loft light has been repaired too and will now hang in the loft stairwell.
Tomorrow, I have been promised the back windows! Then the scaffolding can come down. Yipee!
I cannot wait to get rid of the 'balcony'/trash pile in front of my bedroom windows.
Window (8 August) and Scaffolding (12 August) Update
Well the delayed windows (one having been sent back to factory before arrival), arrived Tuesday. Unfortunately the back window at the top does not close so the factory has to [again] remake the top portion of the window. Now promised?/estimated for 5 September, putting back completion of the loft - sigh ... there really are no words.
