Well done!
I spent all day boarding up our loft, I'm not quite sure what's hit me! Gone are the weekends of playing with manifolds and coilovers, all about DIY now. It is now a safe-haven for when the mrs has another one of her rage-fits!

This. the Gippos that put my central heating left the pipes sitting on the joists and it creaks like a bitch when the heating comes on and off. I ended up taking the boards up and putting rubber under them. Job done!

I just don't let the pipework sit on the joist, if it's suspended above then it won't creak. Although I do have some pipework elsewhere (that I didn't fit) that is sat on a joist
Looking good though Cully. I should have put my photos up from decorating, getting pretty good at cabling, plumbing, plastering, chippy-ing etc!
