Ok, it's not exactly satellite related but i know there are a lot of hands on members on here so thought why not ask
I am wanting to make the atic space properly useable, i cannot afford anything like a loft conversion and as always will be attempting to get this done on the cheap
I am thinking of getting in a carpenter, i want the current atic entry point made wider and longer for easier access and a solid and wider ladder installed (the kind that drops down when you open the hatch), then i am wanting flooring put down in the atic space above so that we can use the area for storing things properly and removing much clutter from the rest of our small house, obviously want a nice bright light up there as well
I was in a local Wickes store back in the summer and and they had a massive pallet of these tongue and groove atic flooring boards, to me they seemed really cheap (this is not a job i would do myself anyway and would get someone in)
Has anyone any experience in this sort of thing? Any suggestions, what to do or what not to do? The sort of costings i would be looking at? The type of boards to shop for or boards to avoid?
Thanks in advance, any positive advice greatly accepted
