Hi thanks for that, I guess your right Im over complicating it. I am only taking the sky light out because it is about 50 yrs old and made of plate glass, you can here the wind coming through the sides of it. So I really must take this out. Where did you get the loft ladder?

Yes oddly I figured that out, it is quite heavy sorry im such a tight ass sometimes I had loads of mdf in the garage thought I could do some skimping but when I got there most of it has absorbed water from the floor. Ive never seen the bubble wrap foil before can I put this between my brick wall and plasterboard?

I have decided to use plasterboard for the walls and have started to build the frame work to hold it, all is going quite well so far. I have removed the old strip light in favor of 2 smaller regular light sockets. I have a sky light in the roof! Can I just put my velux window into that? if the size is correct?

Hi Well I just want to be able to walk about in the taller part down the middle! I dont want to floor right to each corner as its a bit pointless. I did not consider the walls being able to breathe I was just thinking of boarding it up all the way round to make a rectangle, I am also going to insulate the roof and put up a plaster board cieling, I never intended it to go this far I just wanted a floor at first. Can I use mdf for my walls? if I build brackets behind it with 2x2 All my floor is down and Im quite happy with how straight it is, lol I guess all the hard work was done for me as the main beams are quite straight!

I am now on day 3 of my loft floor and have a few questions please? Right firstly I am not making a proper loft conversion its purley for extra storage but I am going to be fitting a window after christmas. Now that I have a square to stand on I am starting to think I could box the walls off to make a kind of room. Can I do this safely and what are the regulations on this? I have kids in the house so I want it fire safe etc, but I dont want it to get expensive. any hints or things I need to aware of:confused:

Hi guys,gals Im new to the forum looking forward to getting some much needed help. I am a DIY novice I try my hand at anything but not plumbing(bad experiences) My latest project is laying a basic floor in my loft next will be the velux window, any advice on the window would be good slightly worried about that bit! lol
