Loft Development for Prepping

Hi S13

I assume that you have a tiled roof? If yes, you could just lift the bottom edge of a tile or two from within the loft space to see out? No need to make small trap doors or anything.

I pretty much completed installation of the first hatch this afternoon. Its exactly as planned, and I am very pleased with it. Tomorrow some rendering and cementing and it'll be done. Being glass, it lets a lot more natural light into the loft which is good in day time, but I'll need to rig a blackout curtain of some sort if the space is to be used covertly at night. I have only just realised that from this hatch I can attach and adjust all manner of radio antennas onto the chimney stack....and I can do so under the cover of darkness.

A good result :-)

Hope your loft conversion goes equally well.
