Whats wdp? Im assuming the sloping threshold will be under the bedroom carpet?

Sorry, Weather and Boil Proof ply . Easily good enough for your needs. Marine ply has different glue and better quality ply layers and virtually waterproof. WBP will be virtually as strong and almost as water resistant but once in place where's the water issue ?
Threshold graduates between carpeted bit and raised level of wet floor bit and so yes partially covered at least by carpet

I have enthusiasm and no cash

SO what you need to do is create your pl;an/desire and then a shopping list. Enter searches on fleabay and save them. Checkout local faceache sales and swap pages etc. gradually you'll be able to pick up bargains along the way. Put a wanted post up etc Eventually you'll have most of what you need and then you can hit the task

Got some time on the desk bit today and did this

It's all cut from one sheet of 25 mm ply and so all the grain goes the same way

First run round with the router

Then a quick trim off the edge , chamfer style

Started the oiling job after a good sanding but a bit difficult to take a good enough pic for you.

Got the sofa bed in , just

At this rate we'll be able to eat off table in the kitchen without fending off avalanches of receipts and kitchen plans

Shelf racking etc next and some PC plumbing to do before the books start to flood in , boom boom

Looking a bit more lived in now as the books are going in

Special beer shelf seems to holding up

A bit more alu folded to make shelves and the files will be off the kitchen table

Beer o'clock is calling so just bunged some file boxes off the table to keep her indoors happy

It'll never look this tidy again by the way

solarman216 · 01-11-2014, 02:19
