Hi Everyone!
I was wondering whether you guys could tell me if I would be crazy to try to build a rear dormer by myself or with as little help as possible from a builder I have used on previous projects.
To give you guys an idea of where my DIY level is at, I have never made a dormer before but have renovated a couple of properties and done a lot of the work myself such as building stud walls, removing and fitting a staircase (with the builder) and plasterboarding and plastering a staircase with two turns (and building a metal frame to take the plasterboard - alone). I've also made a few bits of furniture (tables, shelves, racks, a mirror ...).
I have never made a dormer before and so would like to have your opinion on whether its possible for a competent DIYer to make one. Personally I don't think it is something that I couldn't achieve but I was just wondering whether you guys think that its actually way harder than it might appear.
Thanks a bunch for your advice and please be kind with your comments!
