Thank you and I'm glad it sparks some ideas.

Thank you. This is very kind.

Thank you. I'm glad you've found it helpful.

That's very kind of you. I was thinking of making use of it for quite some time. It was well worth it.

Wow! Blown away with that. What a talented craftsman you are 👏👏👏

Haha. You've summed it up pretty good. Indeed that's how it looked like ;) Thank you.

Thank you for these kind words ;)

Happy you've enjoyed it. Thank you.

Thanks. It's practically a big wardrobe out of otherwise totally unused space, occupied solely by lone spiders ;)

Thank you. I'm sure you do! Just give it a go.

Thank you. Don't give up! I've had lots of reservations and uncertainty myself ;) I've just started it and took it step by step...

Thank you. That's very kind.

Thank you. That's very kind ;)

Glad you like it! Means a lot.

Hi, certainly. Measuring from the edge of any step in a vertical line to the inclined ceiling it's 210cm (83''). Hope this helps.

Happy to be serve with an inspiration!

Thanks. You'd need to make the construction slightly more rigid to hold washing machine and tumble dryer but should be feasible.

Yes, you are correct. I've used two Makita boxes on the lower step (2 down) and connected these with the upper step using a plywood board. Only then I've placed the ladder on. I'm aware there are some ladders that can be placed on the steps but I didn't have one.

Haha. No, sorry. This was a one off I'm afraid ;)

Haha! I was in fact already asked about it. Might be a business opportunity ;)

Thank you. Happy that this helps.

I was in fact thinking what would my answer be, should anyone ask me this. I'm yet unsure, due to the amount of work and effort it took. I was mentally preparing myself and rethinking the construction for a couple of years (event then you can still see a number of changes I've made on the way), with an unwavering support from my wife: "Don't do it!". She was a bit afraid of the scale of the challenge, though fully appreciative now. Hands down it was worth it, though if anyone would want me to do it again, they would need at least £3k to convince me ;)

👍

Thank you!

Thank you! It took a while ;)

You can't screw the stud to the plasterboard. You'd need to locate the wall stud first and align your construction studs with it. In other words you screw the construction stud to the existing, wall stud. You'd need to use long screws for that, so they go through your stud, plasterboard and into the wall stud.

That's a very good question. We were in fact a bit afraid that this might be an issue. So far so good, though should any such problem arise I'd make a vent on the small wall I've put between the wardrobe and the stairway.

Thanks. I didn't calculate it but I'd guess the raw materials would be around £200 - £300.

Haha! A great way of describing it ;)

That's a great way of putting it! Cheers

Thanks. If you mean the hight from the stairs step to the ceiling it's 2.05m.

Haha. That's actually quite a funny thing, as I've used insulation sheets from out Hello Fresh boxes ;)

Haha, thanks. The project was mainly around gaining more space by using otherwise idle area. I haven't do the costs calcs, though the main expense would be: the tools, which I've already had; and the rough materials, which I expect would be a fraction of what you'd pay a contractor I guess.

Teehee. That would be me... Cheers.

@@kingsgate ok are you a builder/ carpenter? and where are you located?

Well, I guess you can call me that. I'm in Scotland.

That would be cool indeed. Quite tricky in reaching into the top of the stairs I guess but a great idea all the same. Best of luck with it!

Yes. In fact Ikea close to my place has a free wood display, where they make damaged or otherwise defective furniture parts free for grabs and that's where I've got some of these from :) Though most would be too thin for the job so I had to buy the rest.

No difference, though to be fair I haven't particularly paid attention to it, nor have I measured it, so I'm not 100% certain.

@@kingsgate fair enough, thanks for the reply though. xx

A mix of beams and mdfs (B&Q) and some scrap wood free from IKEA.

I would make the construction more rigid. I'm fairly convinced mine would still hold it, however it wasn't designed with this on mind.

Teehee. Try watching it in real time ;)

Haha. They are welcome to view this documentary video for all the details ;)

Theres always one lol hard to beat a bit of diy yourself. Plus save a few pounds great job lad

Make sure to lay off the Jaffa cakes else you may not fit thru that door opening. And if you manage to pray that you don’t fall below

​@@bootsmclaughlin1438 I don't do sugar, so no worries there... I hope :)

@@bootsmclaughlin1438 Thank you!
