Some nice tidy work there , hate flooring myself. More or less given up working in people's houses now. Just can't be bothered with the hassle.

Aye it's shxt like but a sed ad help a mate out who's took on too much work so got 37 packs to put down on a 45 degree angle in the one with MDF walls then a think about 60/70 packs of parkay to put down in another house in a few weeks after we fit out a canal boat

Haha totally wrong place for getting decent logs to have milled up mate or dried in a kiln haulage fees make it not worth doing so thinking about building myself a solar kiln but can only find solar fans for it in America n the postage is a nightmare on them either gonna have mains power ran into my allotment off the power grid or just run a power supply from my mates house over the road from it

Fitted a few of these out when i was up in keele back in the day. Mostly teak and ash ply to line all the main walls and ceilings

Total novice regards boats, are you restricted to weight when fitting them out internally? Is there a “rule of thumb” or will they pretty much take what you put in them. Obviously theyre designed to float, but can you over do it? Without it sounding like a silly question if ya know what i mean 🥴

I worked in a boat yard so worked with some really experienced guys.The floors were welded with T-bar like a grid and then concrete slabs laid to sit the boat down in the water and even the weight out depending how the boat was to be fitted. The ones i ended up working on were a lot wider than the normal uk narrow boats as they were for a chap over in ireland who had a B&B on the river shannon
