Hello all!
A while back, I asked my mom if I could have a room in the attic of our house. She said she wasn't sure, at first, but to ask my dad, and see what he said. Right off, I thought, yeah right, he's going to say no right off. I was actually really surprised, when he said that he'd think about it. Well, it didn't take him very long, before he asked someone to come and look at the attic, and see how much it would cost us, to build a room up there.
Well, it was a good price, so Dad said that we could build a room in the attic for me. I was so excited.
Well, this week, they started working up there. I have pictures from the last four days, (not today, yet, but I'll be sure to post them later today) that they've been here. I hope that you enjoy them. They have made a lot of progress these days, but I'm not sure how long it will take them to finish. They estimated about 2 weeks.
Day 1:
First off, this is looking up the stairs:

This is looking down the stairs:

This is the studded out walls:

More walls:

This is my little window area:

I only have one picture from day 2, because it didn't seem like they did too much. Well, they studded out another wall that will be the wall to the storage area, in one part of the attic. It's pretty big up there, so we decided we'd make a storage area, to put some of our stuff, because we don't have room for it, any where else
Studded out storage area:

Day 3, they seemed to have done a lot. This is the day, that they started on the insulation. They put in the insulation in the roof (part of it), and they started putting a window seat, in the window area. I asked for that right off the bat, and I was excited to get one! Here are some pics:
Insulation on the roof (yes, it is purple!)

One of the outlets (LOL):

The start of my window seat:

Another angle of my window seat:

Day 4: Insulation Insulation and MORE Insulation:



(the last pic is looking up the stairs. It kind-of changed, since that first picture, looking up the stairs, didn't it?!)
I hope you enjoyed the pictures, and I'll be posting more soon!

You are SO lucky! I've always wanted a room in an attic, and our house does not even have one!
I'm happy for you, it looks like it will be a beautiful bedroom! ; )

Wow! Now that looks familiar! Gosh, it'd be bad to be down stairs while they were banging upstairs...that would give me a major headache! At least it's only going on for a little while...and it's upstairs. :)
Thanks for the comment!

I've done Latin for seven years I think... it's pretty hard to start with, but you'll catch on really fast. ^_^
Who's teaching you? Or is it self-taught?
My dad did it in highscool, so he taught me.
French is easy, after you know Latin, because it's basically all the latin terms and words with a French twist.
Right now I'm also doing Swahili, what they speak in kenya. ^_^
