When we bought the house, the removal men wanted to know where we wanted stuff left. There's a room over the kitchen which is basically in the roofspace, and so is in the eaves. So we said, put that in the eaves room. After a while, seeing we had 2 kids, and neither of them were called Eve, they were a bit confused!
Anyway, Eve's room is that one with the little dormer window.
It looked like this not long before we moved in.
We've been umming and ahhing about what do do with Eve's room, the dormer window is a bit shabby and looked like it needed sorting out. It also really just looks onto a wall - the outside wall of the shower room next to the master bedroom. So in the end we've decided to double the size of the dormer and do a full job on the room.
So today, it looks like this:
Completely stripped, and the next job is to start the major surgery.
The decision to really get to grips with the room was a good one. Water had been getting in from the outside on the edges of the dormer and had rotted the rafter next to it. This had been bodged up by pinning some batten to the edge of the rafter.
Not good. So a victory for gut feel for once...
