These are the best kind of DIY projects. At some point I’ve got to build a climbing frame for the kids! Where did you get the hand/foot holds?
In some ways my biggest knowledge gap is where to start, had some advice to the tune of; get a property valuation, and get an estimate valuation with 2 added bedrooms from the same agents. Go to a couple of big all-in “loft” type companies and get some big quotes, take that to mortgage broker with a view to securing the funds for the conversion via a remortgage and then take said funds and go conversion ourselves, more or less the way you’ve done, get it shelled and watertight by the builders and book trades / do the rest ourselves. Does that sound realistic? Guessing as an architect you’ve got a fair bit of knowledge / experience of this sort of thing.
Keep up the good work!
update is the upstairs is almost finished, just doors to hang, bit of skirting board and carpets. Downstairs is way off and only plasterboarded enough to get the radiators on the walls.
I've created a climbing wall up to the kids den in the loft which they love.
