A big hole

As part of our enforced boiler replacement program I have to fit a loft ladder. This requires the enlarging of our tiny loft hatch. To this end I have been struggling with sooty fibreglass and 2x4s all day. The effect is quite startling - the hole is quite large! Hopefully it will look better when it is finished and hopefully it will be finished before the forecast snow arrives as there is quite a draught through it.
