The den of tranquility

[Highlander1]

Hi

I thought I'd let you into my thoughts on what to with wasted loft space in the garage.

This is a project under construction I will provide a bucket of water for anyone who visits with a mobile phone!

I got hacked off with things falling through the rafters at me so decided to chap a hole in the wall clean out the old s$$$$ and took it from there.

Cheep door £36 including locks and hinges.

Stove £70 odd quid.

Stove pipe £250.

Stairs etc about £150s wood from local timber yard.

Off cuts of flooring and a couple bits from local supplier.

week of evenings and some old paint from the loft and hey presto I now have dads room above the garage.

Needs finishing but I wanted to make it look like a old traditional retreat

I will insulate with glass fibre and hard board.

Local builder wanted £2k to knock the door in !!

I now have some where to sit and ponder instead of a place to pile full of junk and only access via a rickety old ladder.

Cheers JB

It means I can get 5 minutes away from 3 teenage kids, playstations, the mobile phones Oh those ring tones, the bickering the repetitive bagging noise coming from their stereos. OH the noise the noise.

Even the misus joins me for a we dram at times to escape.


ps I'm surprised I managed to post the pictures at all never mind what size they came out at.

Cheers JB
