    The roof and velux are being redone next week. There's a whole load of broken slates and bad repairs, ridge pointing has all fallen out, no felt/membrane either. Current velux leaked and the plasterboard ceiling had been fitted in a such a way that it stopped any airflow around the rafters so they've been getting damp and fuzzy.

    Generally the conversion is a total hack job, so trying to put as much right as I can. Will be building out the rafters and insulating between them to the front of the house (blue door) and a stud wall/doors for storage under the beam. Insulated dwarf wall towards the back (red door) and laying insulation behind that and out over the bathroom.

    Wiring needs tidying up, floor's a joke and will need replacing. I'm a little hesitant to pull it up as it seems like it's nailed into a bunch of cheap 2x2s resting freely across the ceiling rafters...

    my loft has not been done (yet), this is what I'm concerned about.

    Will be building out the rafters

    Thinking about this also but I would like to leave space for sparrows, swifts etc.
