Further to my earlier post about venting my rafters (thanks for the reassurance, John!) I have another query...
SWMBO's just come downstairs again after having apraised the day's efforts on her way to bed. "You know, wouldn't it be nice to have a dormer window in the other side of the roof... think of the extra light... would transform the room.... enhance the house value... etc etc".
Jesus H Christ on a broomstick! "Noooooo!"
So she's gone off to bed in a bit of a huff, but notwithstanding my protestations I just thought I'd have a look round to see what I can find about How To Do It - which is not a lot so far. I wouldn't have a clue where to start TBH - my only clue will be from exposing the workings of the existing dormer on the opposing side, when I have finished ripping off the old lath and plaster for the purposes of insulating it all properly.
Can anyone point me at some Useful Resources? (and don't let on to SWMBO that I'm even considering this. But she's right of course - as usual).
Thanks David
