Pushing The Boundaries

Here's how we pushed the boundaries of a small attic. The draft blueprint on the left shows an attic 3 metres / yards wide at the bottom. That's the width of the actual production on the right. But the attic on the right is raised nearly a metre / yard off the floor. Also, the pitch is sharper: 12/15 instead of 12/14. The result today is an attic easily high enough for me to stand in, which is quite high, rather than the original approx. 1.3m / 4' high. I said today that the attic on the right could hold four double beds. (The floor is yet to be laid, the walls to be plastered, and the ridge to be put on top of the roof).
