A Little Loft Conversation ..( Uh Huh)
Discussion
Planning finally approved the other week, so a couple of days graft ( with the kids roped in as cheap labour 
)
Sees us at this stage.
Gable walls are fubar, so they can both go and be rebuilt in timber.
Eventual layout is thus, using an engineered frame.
Should get most of the frame off tomorrow, result with the tiles as neighbour had most of them for his new garage he's building. Just need to talk him into building it out of timber, as I have a bit spare !
Progress will be slow as this is my busiest time of year at work, but shall update if there is any interest as I go.
Water tank being moved onto scaffold next week so I have a flat surface for Truss erection, oh and a rewire inbetween

Watching with interest. I'm in the process of buying a bungalow with what seems like a similar footprint. I haven't looked in the loft though to check head heights as I'm buying on the basis that we can't go into loft. We couldnt afford it for 10 years anyway I imagine, but time to plan ahead I guess. Good luck!
Half Down, kids a bit lazy today 
Need to leave the frame around the stack for a bit as top half live, so will build a staging off of it and rope Brickie mate in for a re build.
Not a bad days graft all in all, timber from frame is on Freecycle, 5 metre lengths of 4x2 will keep someone's wood burner going for a few years.

All gone, including poxy insulation.
Chimney is fubar, so it's coming down and two twin skin liners in its place. Timber left as crash deck, that how wobbly it is.
Half of one gable down, had to jury rig incoming power leads
Tank going up here temporarily .
And time to call a favour in off sparky mate.
All in all, not a bad weekends graft. Girlie and her dad (85 years old) have worked like Trojans
