Title: I've not been on here for ages!
Post by: Dave-C on 01 May 2008, 20:13:06
Hi folks,
Rather busy at the moment, converting our loft space... looking forward to doing absolutely bloody nothing this bank holiday weekend... still got about 3-4 weekends to get stuck in at it there after.  
We've got the window in, also the floor is now as good as complete, being a sparky by trade I've run the ring main in and made provisions for the lighting,  I also dabble with plumbing to a reasonable standard, so, the radiator piping is plumbed in and ready to pressurise once the rad is on...  

I can't believe the price of the bits for the job, £500 ish for the wood alone.. £200 ish for the insulation... the list goes on...

All told though, about £1300-1500...

Not bad for a spare room! ::)

Speak soon

DC ;)

Sounds good, what has the man from building control had to say?

reminds me of the guy who chopped the webs out of his roof trusses to create more space in his loft conversion :o

Sound like a good deal much cheaper than getting the builders in. ;)
