    Looks great. I've glued 12mm wooden battens up the 2 wider middle channels to screw into for a better fixing. Packed it out the same as you around the edges. It's down now and it's solid 👍

    • @WildAstro
      @WildAstro  4 роки тому

      Excellent, I’ve decided that screwing into the battens is the way to go I think! Thanks for watching and commenting buddy!

    This is inspiring me to get a van to convert even though I've got no need for one and no space either 🤣. Love the idea though and it's interesting to see the process.

    Hey Rich, if you havent decided on your vinyl flooring give me a shout. It may be worth gaining opinion as to using LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tiles) aka Amtico or Karndean. We have spare boxes left over from numerous jobs in the shop that would fit the floor area and it will last a lifetime. We sell them off cheap so wkn't cost a lot but defo better than a standard vinyl. Keith

    • @WildAstro
      @WildAstro  4 роки тому +1

      Thanks Keith. Reckon it needs about 5-6 sqm of tiles. Can you PM or email me with an idea of price for that please? Cheers!
