Loft update

As regular readers are aware I’ve started a loft conversion, so thought i’d update the blog with its current progress.

Most of the frame work is now complete, just got to decide where the storage access hatch is going to be.  I did have one position in mind but I keep changing my mind over it.  Still everything is on hold until I get the insulation now…….

(Retro CRT TV setup and working!!!! – Was the one I used on my Spectrum back in 1985 – So not bad for a 24 year old TV – makes an odd popping noise though. I’ll take it apart and check for dry joints)

I was looking a polystyrene blocks for insulation but looking around I found a thermal bubble wrap like sheet that does the same job. It costs £109 for a 1.5m x25m roll, but it should be easier to work with. Especially in some of the cabinet and on the roof joists.

Loft space is around 1.4m x 3.7m, so it’s a little narrower, but a little longer than my current room. Though with the additional storage in the loft it might seem a little bigger. Still got plenty to do before it’s done.
