Right real quick start to a new loft build (pictures 2 b added later).
£2500 of equipment was obtained for a paultry £600 !!.
Around £1500 has been spent on the loft conversion itself up to date !!,been going for 6 days flat out and i am only just putting celotex on the roof and floors !!.
Can't wait to get some green in there and watch it grow !!.
Mate is putting following strains in there :cheese(non-uk),church,cali' orange,whitewidow,blueberry & new york city diesel so either way we'll get some shite hot green for the end of jan' as were using cuttings.
GANGREEN

Right here goes boys time for some step by step piccies of the loft and progress so far,aswell as a description of the intended next day plans so you can get some kind of idea of how long things take ect.
the first set of pictures are of the loft with chipboards fitted and stud work installed to ceiling rafters to aid in taking the weight of the conversion and spreading the load with the main roof supports as these are atleast 4" X 10" and sit directly on the walls.
Enjoy:

Here are some more ,tis time with 50mm celotex insulation boards fitted.
Also a picture of the tap,accoustic wall and accoustic shroud area for fans ect to be housed in there own accoustic box which will be fitted with another accoustic box !!,should be sound proof !!,the exhaust will be as follows : 10 m - 12" ruk rvk- on a y and 2 carbon filters (1 in either end of the room),2 x air cooled super nova's to be fitted also,the list is endless!!.
Enjoy:1 accoustic area
2 tap

Some more:
Note ladder and airing cupboard which is gonna have a false roof with light on for stealthness !!.
Rooms coming along lovely and should have lights ect running in 2 days !!.
