We have beautiful light upstairs now that 2 of the 4 Velux windows have been installed. We’ve gone for white for a change from the standard issue pine ones. They look great and make the works feel that bit further forward.

There are lots of things to consider when a project like this is on your hands, not least how it will look to the neighbours and the impact on them while the work is being done. I think we are doing well, from both counts. There are the vans but otherwise very little impact to mention, apart from escaping old insulation early on. After a beautiful, sunny walk home from town today I approached the bungalow from down the hill. I realised that the house had a new silhouette and I am so pleased to report that the dormers look absolutely ‘right’ from the street. Here’s hoping the neighbours agree.

Here’s a new view from the RHS window, we’ve never had this view from the bungalow before. I love the hills in the distance.

The back dormer is looking great and can you work out where the side view was taken from (if you know the house)? Answers on a postcard please.

Wires are appearing all over the place, now they’re taking over upstairs ready for our lights and plugs.

Day Twenty

So here we are at day twenty. We have another dormer on the horizon and some insulation being installed between the uprights. The bath no longer floods the void under the house when it is emptied so it’s all good. Did wonder if the roofers would be here today after a wet weekend. Glad they managed to get on. Here are today’s pics for you.
