A mezzanine no more

Camille of Casa Nova has put up some photos of renovating the mezzanine.

The photo at the end is how it looked when they first started work: an open platform at one end of the barn, accessed by a home-made stair-ladder. They extended the platform to make a room downstairs, put in a staircase and walls, insulated the roof, and made a small minstrel gallery looking out over the rehearsal room. Now it's no longer a mezzanine, but a room. It has a door to the first bedroom and an open entrance to a wide hall leading to the bathroom and two other bedrooms; behind the odd shape in one corner, with a door, is the little gallery.

Brendan added a shutter for the window, and now it's all snug but sunny, and waiting for furniture.
