Work has commenced on another flat ( Gordon Bennet! ) 18 Reutvennen Strasse. Its a one bedroomer coming in with a handy additional loft space with bright orange fitted carpet and dark blue feature walls. The lack of a window in the loft and its ease of locking makes an ideal space for imprisoning any child abducted from the nearby primary school. Alternatively if the stress of modern life is too much why not lock yourself away for several months ? A computer desk is provided if a link to the outside is at all necessary... My first task was to bring daylight to this. if you will, attic dungeon. I set to... the temperature began to rise in the unventilated loft as the afternoon wore on. Clearly rafters would have to be cut to get the Velux window in. Fibreglass particles and slate dust filled the air... and the sweat dripped as I sawed merriy through whatever structural timber happened to be in the way.... confident that it would "be OK", and it was, like it usually is.
Usually, but not always. A few years ago It wasn't OK when cutting through some structural steelwork in the attic at 13 Murrayshall Terrace. a steel framed house. There was a huge bang, clearly audible above the racket of the Stihl saw. A brief inspection showed that the upper floor of the entire house had suddenly and irreversibly gone down about 1/2 inch. This had all happened straight above the head of an elderly occupant who was still sat watching the TV, largely unaware....
