My Loft Conversion Pics

Loft Conversion

Here is a link to my website where you will see the progress of the loft conversion which we are getting done.

We are making two rooms, one bedroom and the rest will be a
lounge/home cinema/pub.

This will hopefully be finished by the end of July, including decoration.....

How big is your house? It looks at least twice the size of mine!

I hope you ran lots of cables for PJ etc before ceiling boards went in!
Looks like its gonna be great (dont envy the person in that bedroom when a film is on tho!
PS consider accoustics treatment of wall and ceiling as shape is not conducive to ideal accoustics.

Mmmm, the lounge is 25 1/2 long, bedroom 16 1/2 long and the hall would be about 3 ft = hold on till i go to windows calculator, ok back, 45 ft long.
Both rooms are approx 16 1/2 ft wide.

All the wires are in place, well, i think they are

As for anything else, well, its cost twice as much as i thought it would.
Had to get two new velux windows put in as the ones that were in were too high and not fire escape ones. Had to splash out on 2 rolls of Tri-Iso Super 9 thermal insulation which goes on the angles of the room @ £250 each.

And of course, its got to be carpeted at the end, i'm too scared justnow to phone for a price.

I'll keep on updating the website so remember to check back.

Cheers everyone

Hopefully this one works, jeeesh it does, ok, this is the first sheet of plasterboard to be put onto the side walls, as you can see the foil insulation is also installed. getting there slowly but surely

Better picture of foil insulation.

Not sure about England, but in Scotland this seems to be the new thing for planning permission, note that it is only on the wall that is directly on the outside of the house thus being the need for the foil insulation and not the normal stuff which is on the ceiling and the bottom side walls.
