In the process of getting organised to begin renovating my house and best place to start seems to be the loft.
The previous owners seemed to think carpet and bits of wallpaper where good for insulation. I've bought some new insulation for up there now though.
Question is though the beams in the loft are 1.25" by 4", now if I'm going to board the loft I think I'm going to have to deepen the beems. Also doubt they are going to be strong enough to support me (18 stone) either.
The beams run from front to back of the house which is about 26 foot and all walls in the house are stud walls.
Any advice?
