Day Twenty Nine

First thing this morning the new stairs arrived.  It all got delivered in pieces like a huge 3D jigsaw.

The guys then spent a couple of hours locating all of the numbered pieces and getting them in order before putting it all together.


Luckily the radiator doesn't have to be moved.  That was my only worry.

Roll on next week.  All the windows will be fitted and the plasterboards are going up.  The scaffolding will go too...at last.

The downside was receiving an invoice from the Council for the Building Inspector.  Extortion springs to mind.

Day Twenty Eight

Seriously, how much insulation do you need ?   It's going to be like a sauna up there when they've finished.

At least the Roofer finally came around to see what needs doing.  He'll be putting some vented tiles in and also fixing the leak by the chimney.  It sounds like a quick fix though thankfully.

Fingers crossed we'll be getting the plaster boards tomorrow and also the stairs.

I'll take more pictures if it get's interesting.

Day Twenty Seven

This has turned into a very slow week.  One guy came today and finished off the insulation for the ceiling.

Really hoping there is more activity tomorrow.

Wasn't even worth taking a picture today !

Day Twenty Six

A very early visit from the Electrician to measure up for the lighting.  Nothing else.

So here's a quick before and after (well where we are now) photo.


All systems go tomorrow though.

Day Twenty Five

Got a call first thing from the Builders to say that they wouldn't be with us until Wednesday.

Although it sounds like the velux windows and gable end window might be ready this week.  It would be great to get those in as well as the stairs on Friday.  Fingers crossed.

In the meantime I have to put up with this little one.


She likes Costa !

Day Twenty Four

Another nice day to round off the weekend.

No chance of any Loft related work today with such nice weather.  Managed to get some time outside.

Summer is trying it's best to cling on but Autumn is taking over.

Day Twenty Three

Saturday.  A day off and an opportunity to enjoy the nice weather.  So, a quick spin around Llandegla Red route.  I was enjoying it that much that I forgot to stop and ended up heading back up the trails again.  This time straight to the radio masts at the top and then down the single-track across the moor.


Superb views from the top.  Only one crash on the way down fortunately.  Absolutely knackered.
