The attic had kneewalls framed in and a fair amount of insulation when I bought the place, so we weren't starting from scratch; but it was something I'd never tried before.
It will take some more effort -- not to mention wainscoting and wallboard,

Attic Antics
Thanks -- once again! -- to the Data Viking, I've got an attic just about ready to turn into a decent room. We wrapped up all but some small and awkward corners of the vapor barrier today, after having completed the insulation last week. (It feels warmer already, probably 'cos we've got an unseasonable warm front rolling in. My sinuses are nonplussed).

It will take some more effort -- not to mention wainscoting and wallboard,scubbing scrubbing [thanks, Tam!] and paint, plus a bit of electrical work -- but I'm now in a position to follow up on my earlier plan to find a like-minded boarder to rent the room. I may have a line on someone. We shall just have to see how it works out.

ReplyDeleteNot only do I love saying the word "wainscoting" because it's delightfully archaic sounding, but I'm an excellent scubber. :)
Smart-alec! Why, I bet you never did a proper scubbing your whole life so far! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh no, I'm all about the scubbing. Heck, I can scub with my eyes closed while humming Yankee Doodle. It's the scrubbing that I'm still working on.
