I've boarded quite a bit of our loft, and I've found winter is best for doing it as in summer it feels like it's 5000 degrees up there

How you finding it ?
Haha, aye not bad...my friend helped.me with the first couple so it didn't go horrendously wrong, then the first one I did by myself I think i laid it free times
Couldn't get the amount of mix right (wet mix) All in all in glad they're going down finally, the water we had a month ago wiped the garden out and turned it into a mud bath, then as soon as I rented the mixer is started raining

Good - seen the woes you were having with the garden so you must be glad to finally get them down

Haha yep! Finally starting to look a bit more normal.
I'll make a thread at some point with it all from start to finish and await the critiques

Ha ha - do - got to keep the patio posts coming
I did! It's temporary storage as our house needs quite a bit of work. I may do it properly once our possessions can live in the house again

Imo I'd have waited till the floor was down unless you left a large gap. You might find it needs removing and planing.Hung a door
Edit, zooming in foes that door open away from the camera, if so carry on

Lol, yes it opens inward and is already tiled up to the threshold in the other room.
Also the floor is being screened tomorrow and need to keep the cats (the cat flap is in the utility room through that door) from walking all o we it. No hardship if it needs whipping off and planing down

My man jobs yesterday were moving out a room to get a ceiling skimmed. Fingers crossed the guy will turn up as he's waiting on his van to be fixed
. Also bought a battery powered lawn mower on the prime day deal. Can't believe I'm excited about a lawnmower .

I'm sure most men share your excitement. My first battery powered mower arrived last March. I had covid but got out of bed to try it out. The missus had to carry me back to the sofa as I couldn't stand after mowing the lawn.My man jobs yesterday were moving out a room to get a ceiling skimmed.

Which mowers you got? I got v annoyed with my cable last week cutting the grass. I've got Makita tools and batteries, but imagine their mower would be very pricey.
Get a Ryobi and a battery adaptor.
