Besides you wont be able to hear when someone calls out 'Andy can you just......' I dont know if it helps with Sound but the Multilayer foil such as Tri Iso used in loft conversions gives a lot of insulation without taking up much space. Don On the walls I'll either use Plasterboard covered Celetex or Celetex and ply as per TOPS. For the roof, again Ply with Loft insulation between the rafters. TBH, I'll leave that for my Grandson to decide as he does this sort of thing all the time and he has just done his own Loft Conversion with 2 Bedrooms, and all past by Building inspectors etc. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Thanks Barnaby, that foreground foliage has really helped with the photography, and as you say, places the model into, it rather than on the Layout. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Andrew P Posted October 10, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2019 I've been really busy for the last week or so, and as a consequence nothing has been done inside TOPS. I have gone in a couple of times for short running sessions, or with the intent on doing a job or two, but then just switched off the power and gone back indoors and done nothing. The result is that pics your seeing have been taken some time ago, so I hope you will forgive me for the lack of any new material at the moment. Anyway, here is another one of the Grid and the Catfish, (hey, what a good name for a Pub or Rock Band!) 23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) As stated on New Mills, Our place officially went on the Market on Tuesday evening and so far we have had 6 viewings, but no offers as yet. Today had been a very wet and miserable day since getting up O'clock this morning, but now it is looking a little brighter. Here's a pic with todays mood written all over it.
