Steve, I can say in all sincerity that we have luxuriated in lockdown because of our location, but have agonised for everyone who was stuck in a flat or terrace house without any outdoor space. We very much know how lucky we are.

A friend of mine sent me some pics of a loft conversion he was doing and the architect had over specked the steels, they were huge about 6OOmm high and had to go through the house. It was a new build and they were going to remove some of the roof and use a crane but there wasnt room.
