WEEK 16. 03-11-12.

PROGRESS:


Roof structure in place and looks good.

much progress to old also.


TO DISCUSS:

See photo of space above kitchen below - this was always meant as  a storage area.
Having seen it today there is potential for use as a loft space/ den with access by a steep stair or a ladder.................it would be one place with a good view - although roof quiet low..............only an occasionally used space - suitable for reading etc.......
I can stand up at centre under roof - but left and right of this would be lower.
This space would remain open to the kitchen below - with a railing to stop fall to below - and could always be used for storage.


It would however need a velux window  (similar to that in the main living area)  - we could go ahead and give it this velux window and if there were any complaints then could get retention planning permission (I could do this in a half a day).
It might be worth putting in a window at this stage in any case???
