You bruddy good bloke you Will is that at Cirencester? My mate was doing rides in his Manitou cherry picker up there today. righto, do you mean boarding over the orange insulation up the side of the roof? the chipboard flooring is far too thick (minimum thickness 18mm) for the job, the t&g make it most effective in situations where it needs to take a lot of weight... (unless you just mean about asking for damaged goods, in which case, oops) just plasterboard will do fine available in 8x4' sheets too! not wishing to teach you to suck eggs either, but compressing the insulation is not energy efficient, I'd advise you to use batons to increase the rafter depth to greater than that of the insulation, then to board over it. just had a huge nostalgia moment of trying to explain to a man why he couldn't use a sheet of OSB as a fence panel, and explaining to a woman why 20 5.4m lengths of slate lath with 4m poking out of the sunroof wasn't advisable... oh that and a man walking in with a picture of a bunk bed and asking what wood he needed to make that!

Deere-est Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I just mean the damaged goods idea mate yeah. As for compressing the insulation, it isn't ideal but I'd sooner have the space to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Been out with pup for a nice long walk and a splash in some streams. Now a bit of DIY, got some tile trip to reattach, two cast iron downpipe funnels to fix up outside for planters and a towel rail to put up. Then up the inlaws for a barbecue...... and to practice a Chuffing line dance...... I'd rather pick my nose with a broken bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Traci's family love a good yes-haw line dance and so her sister has arranged a surprise birthday for her boyfriend where we l have to dress up as cowboys and cowgirls and do some line dances, three in all I think. To say I am not looking forward to it is an understatement, I'm hoping for a night in hotel Scania or at the very least a late finish. Still, I hit back four pints of cider to dull the pain.
