DIY loft conversion ++ cost, trials, tribulations and triumphs

As I've gone down this long and winding road of my own DIY Loft Conversion, I've been confronted with challenges in design, planning (building regs), construction, materials, skills, time, money and living in the house at the same time. This record is for myself, anyone interested, and those who might benefit from the knowledge of my experiences. If you would like more details about my DIY Loft Conversion please leave a comment.

Sprial stairs with cupboard underneath

Having got rid of the airing cupboard, we've missed having somewhere to but the laundry basket and that bit of extra storage. The space under the stairs I've used by build a side to staircase, and now I've fitted the door.

The door is traditional construction with wedged mortice and tennon joints. The pannels are fitted into rebates and mouldings applied to the outside face. It's worked out very nicely and it look like I'll be making a new front door sometime in futue.

I've yet to fit the cupboard out with some shelves but it's already filling up with spare bedding etc.

That staircase idea is just fantastic! It's all about maximizing space, and you've done a great job. We also have a spiral staircase at home, and because of this post, I'm now planning to do something like that. The storage space that can be created might be small, but it will surely help clear up some of the clutter in our house. Actually, we also have an outdoor spiral staircase, and we decorated it with some vines and hanging pots. It's really nice that these staircases can serve more than one purpose.
