Well here we are in 2009 and the work starts again. Today another crane came and delivered more wood, windows and also the plywood for the dormer. M&S carried these through to the rear of the house and got very cold hands since it was snowing. They then worked on the floor joists for the dormer section. They will carry on with this tomorrow and, weather permitting, start to build the dormer on Wednesday. Marcus queried the size of the window we wanted in the bathroom, but we said this was dependent on where the stairs went - giving us what depth the bathroom could be - and from that measurement we could then decide on the layout of the bathroom and hence the size of the window. Fortunately the stairman (sorry I can't remember his name) was in the neighbourhood and he came and measured up and worked out what would work. Not completely straightforward as headrooms have to be allowed for and our new staircase was going up under a valley in the roof and then a 90 degree turn towards the back of the house and the ridge steel had to be taken into account. Anyway, he got there and now we have the depth of the bathroom and the design sorted and therefore the size of the window! (800mm in case you were wondering!) Will let Marcus know tomorrow.
