B&Q :scared: THEY NO NOTHING ABOUT WOOD THEM CHRIST im almost tempted to diliver this for my self just to keep you away from b&q lol. blimy.. well you got to use what evers about i recon :)
 
i will say this as a warning, what ever you get were ever you get it from some cost efective bord, ie china stuff and so on will have large cavities between the layers, so this means when marking up a shape and then cutting, you can be glide away with the saw then all of a sudden you slam in to a cavity and the saw has gone off the lime and you have riped up the shape you cutting, so if you or any one cutting cheep timber ply wood boards take heed. this is for any one with out knowledge on this subject.

I've done one motorhome before shaun it was my Talbot express highwayman I even put a new roof skin on that so I'm used to it I tend to make templates first of where I'm fitting things and I'm always
generous with the glue so there should be no problem check these pictures of my old Talbot express highwayman

Picture 212.jpgPicture 213.jpgPicture 209.jpgPicture 015.jpgPicture 024.jpgPicture.jpgPicture 008.jpgPicture 027.jpgPicture 021.jpg667.jpg
i put a new roof skin on this because on these the roof is in three sections it was leaking everywhere

i wanted something bigger and more powerful the highwayman was only 2.0 litre not long after i had the hymer there was buyers after it and i couldnt believe how much they were offering so after some ringing around and checking up for a couple of days i decided i was going to repair everything and put it on the road but i didnt expect to do so much on the repair side of things but im enjoying it when i can do bits on it
 
i here you on speed as my trny is sort of slow, i can hold me own on the road but as soon as wind and hills hit , foget it 45 mph but as they say why be in a hurry to go anywere.:rolleyes:

owe bugger lol it would spook me if i was not driving.
i will admit im slower on country roads and that being my choice but carriageways and such , thats were the problems can be.
on windy days its a nasty drive dont like it but good days its a gem, arm rest down and 50 60 strait, good drive.
a bit of Gerry reed on the dvd player open road , or not still good. traffic jams , cup of tee lol time. all good.
 
i can always put a fake steeringwheel on her side because no doubt she will be trying for a break pedal when comming to junctions too fast probably leaning over to my side when there is a lorry comming the other way

She will get used to it
just not long noticed also the roof lining round the skylight getting wet
when it rains so I've had to put a plastic cover over the floor
so I took the skylight out to see if I could find out what was wrong
and what a mess of that there is the appeture cut out the hole is something like 460mm
but the skylight that they have put in is one to fit an appeture of say 320mm
luckily I have a spare that I took from the u shaped lounge a bit broke round
one edge I have put that in and filled in with a bit of sealer everything is fine uptill
now just hope it lasts untill I can get a new one
 
well thats good then, somthing for later to look at as and when.
so whats next then !

still the floor before anything else i think there is about two foot left just so it just goes under the u shaped lounge step then i will get the thin board to go on that wall. the thing is when all that part has been done at the front and everything back in i will probably take the u shaped lounge out and check the floor under that knowing me
