Fix all the things!
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...
