The Regenerative Home's video: Turning an attic into a loft space Part 1

turning an attic into a loft space in today's video is about turning your attic space into a loft space so much come on in and I'll show you overdoing hopefully you can see and the lights not look bad we got a s cabin this right here and so we knocked out the wall to open it up and then we also had a wallet here separating out this kitchen area from the living room and so we not got out and installed this beam and the reason we put in this being is because we're gonna create the locked space upstairs and we needed more support in order to put in floor / ceiling place what we're gonna do we decided this was all ceiling as well and we decided to take up all of the ceiling in this part of the room as you can see the old joists that random talks there we're leave this open but have a railing here and then we're going to open up this side of the house out to the river if you look over here you'll see it of a nice group of you and so we're just trying to maximize the best views that we have in the house and bring in the natural light so a couple of interesting so this built in the nineteen nineteen hundreds so you got to five fours we got I don't know if you can't really see them but they're like horse down here all the woods too small to actually do any work but to use it for flooring so what we had to do was run new ceiling floor joists so we just laid them out ended them on the beam here and then ran a full or colliculus now what we're going to do for the space is right where these old supports are we're gonna make a line a wall a team on each side open the space and have a new wall and then this roof line will go up to here and then flatten out right there and then I'll go all the way back to the front so we're going to close this top up here lately so we can utilize the venting because you still have to work since I'm going to create a vaulted ceiling we still have to be able to vent out the moist air and we didn't want to seal it up entirely and create a ridge like that we just want to use the existing vents through there so I think that's it for part one we'll make another video and show you how it evolves as we move farther along thanks for watching in today's video is about turning your attic space into a loft space so much come on in and I'll show you overdoing hopefully you can see and the lights not look bad we got a s cabin this right here and so we knocked out the wall to open it up and then we also had a wallet here separating out this kitchen area from the living room and so we not got out and installed this beam and the reason we put in this being is because we're gonna create the locked space upstairs and we needed more support in order to put in floor / ceiling place what we're gonna do we decided this was all ceiling as well and we decided to take up all of the ceiling in this part of the room as you can see the old joists that random talks there we're leave this open but have a railing here and then we're going to open up this side of the house out to the river if you look over here you'll see it of a nice group of you and so we're just trying to maximize the best views that we have in the house and bring in the natural light so a couple of interesting so this built in the nineteen nineteen hundreds so you got to five fours we got I don't know if you can't really see them but they're like horse down here all the woods too small to actually do any work but to use it for flooring so what we had to do was run new ceiling floor joists so we just laid them out ended them on the beam here and then ran a full or colliculus now what we're going to do for the space is right where these old supports are we're gonna make a line a wall a team on each side open the space and have a new wall and then this roof line will go up to here and then flatten out right there and then I'll go all the way back to the front so we're going to close this top up here lately so we can utilize the venting because you still have to work since I'm going to create a vaulted ceiling we still have to be able to vent out the moist air and we didn't want to seal it up entirely and create a ridge like that we just want to use the existing vents through there so I think that's it for part one we'll make another video and show you how it evolves as we move farther along thanks for watching
