My little loft conversion

[user123]

Not so little then mate. What are those pink squirly spray painted bits on the wood for?

To match up the prepared sections?

ive been rained off much of this week scott, i nearly dropped by to see how your getting on but got side tracked by the mod, wish I had now as I could have given you a hand to shift the trusses , im off to france tomorrow so I havent got time now

these pics are deceptive, that little bungalow is actually a nice size bungalow and the tophat is massive, its going to be a rather nice house when its finished . plenty of room for a growing family

They are the safe walking areas, contrary to popular belief that red = danger for us it safe. The most visible colour when you are walking around, especially when carrying really heavy trusses!

Im going to do a thread on adding noggins when the time comes and will do a step by step bathroom installation from this stage up to the finished room.

It's just a guess Ken, this approach is used when separating and rejoining sections of mosaics in the reverse method, so I thought something along those lines may apply here? Basically you have one big area that needs taking to pieces for whatever reason and replacing later - this could be the case here (as said, just a guess) if the boards have been cut to size beforehand. You draw squiggly lines all over the area the lines of which are then easy to marry /match up later when faced with having to organise similar looking pieces.

Then again, in this case it might be some sort of shorthand for underfloor heating? Quite curious myself! :smilewinkgrin:

I know what you mean though Ken i dont normally get to see or do the 'bones' of it. Im really enjoying it as its a ll anew challenge.

Still looking after the kids and doing the cooking and house chores as well sucks! Roll on next week for the start of the summer holidays then i can really get stuck into it.
