A couple of you may know i'm in the midst of a loft conversion, for myself. 2 beroom, with a small ensuite.
Pretty decent amount of room in there, but plenty of awkward bits to contend with.
Doing in my 'spare' time, along side my day job.
Builder/chippy helping with certain aspects like fitting the velux windows and giving me a pont in the right direction now and then...
Few pics so far... Trusses everywhere... Girder trusses, Fink trusses.... you name it, theyre in there!
