The roofer arrived today and is doing a fantastic job of re-tiling the front of the roof and the rear dormer has been prepared for the tiling there too.
Loft Conversion: Day 16
The tiling continues and the two veluxes are in. I must admit when I was looking at the rooms last week, I thought the front room would feel quite small with the sloping ceilings, but as soon as the two windows went in the space has completely changed - it now feels spacious, light and airy. Aine seems pleased with her prospective new room. It really would be amazing if we kept it as one room with an ensuite kept for us, but I think we will still go with the sensible option and have two rooms upstairs....tempting though!!!
Loft Conversion: Day 17
Tiling is really coming along well. The original tiles have now been put back on the front of the house and tiling is proceeding well on the rear dormer - it's looking good. I think the floor has been going down today, but I can't get up there now as Tom tells me the loft hatch has been covered over! I think they must be going in and out of the rear window?
It's going to be busy this coming week, they're finishing off the floor this week (I think). Then the plan is that on Tuesday (Monday being a very inconvenient bank holiday) they are breaking a hole in the ceiling and taking down the wall to Cian's bedroom (morning's jobs). The afternoon's plan is the installation of the staircase - how exciting!! The only slight downside of this is that our already crowded bedroom will now have another bed in it, so not sure exactly how we're supposed to move but hopefully it won't be for long.
Then the inconsideration of our builder Steve reaches new heights when he has the gall to go and get married next Friday and go on honeymoon for two weeks (volcanic ash permitting)!! The show must go on though and Glen is doing a great job, so will be carrying on in his absence..... the plan is that most of the main structure will have been completed by then anyway....we hope!!!
