Building Adam’s Play Loft

So, we have the keys for the hall and have started to make plans for the next steps but that doesn’t mean things all come to a full stop at home. Adam’s room has been needing some tlc for some time now and given the loft hatch is directly above his bed, we decided to get a little bit creative.

The space is a little restricted so we figured out a way to incorporate some storage whilst at the same time building in some ladders to the loft space and then as ever…we went a little further!

The loft isn’t that big and was already boarded when we bought it so we insulated the rafters, filled the gaps and painted it ready for putting down a roll-end of carpet. Adam tried it out and although it looks a little steep to grownups, it adds just the right amount of danger and excitement a young boy could need. Now, I should probably get back to the proper project.

That said, I’ve been trying to get work to support me towards obtaining my degree and after 10 years of asking, they have finally agreed. So, I now have a hall to renovate, two kids to raise, full time job and a degree course. Rachel will no doubt come to the rescue on this front as my time-management gets tested to its limits but we’ll see how we get on.
