The first row of floorboard to go down along the landing - setting the line. <br />
<br />
We choose to nail the boards down with sheradised nails rather than glue the boards down. Using glue would have reduced the sound transfer through the floor even more. However glues tend to 'off gas' and can reduce the indoor air quality.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540743841559087126.post-31686017454042970642014-04-18T16:52:00.000+01:002015-03-29T16:53:25.978+01:00The 'left over cupboard' starts to take shape<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Building the sides and top of the cupboard.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540743841559087126.post-17471156293356457942014-04-12T08:14:00.000+01:002015-03-25T08:15:05.628+00:00A cupboard out of 'left-overs'??<br />
The challenge was to make a cupboard out of the things we had left over on site. We had a limited number 100x100 sawn timber posts. An unlimited amount of waste pallets that all the materials had been delivered on.<br />
<br />
What could we make???<br />
<br />
