Ooo it's looking really good - Love the cheesy pic ! HAHA!

Is it just going to hold rub's or are you making one of the sections into a viv?

Its all gonna be vivs - I don't like rubs as a full time solution. Once these are sealed, heated , had lights fitted and clazed the 07's will go in.

Cheers

Cheers guys - Its 18 mm mdf, you need to go to a Big store where you can buy it buy 8x4 sheets - they can cut it for you (first 4 cuts for free then 50p per cut there after)

Its been really easy to work with (vs the 18 mm Ply I used last time) the only thing is that it will take a while to water seal it (Been told a mix of 5 to 1 of PVA will do it)
I hate bloody painting

Levels 1 2 & 3 ( insides) varnished and sealed, had holes drilled for heating, ventalation and lighting, and ts had the lighting wired up through a 4 way junction box (all since 5 this morning)

I need to fit fittings for lights, fit AHS's and ceramics, sans and varnish exterior, fit runners, vent covers and glass when they arrivenext week then it will be finished - I have decided to leave the top level empty (for all my bits'n'bobs) for the time being
