    Yo,

    I'm new here so I thought I'd stick a few pictures on to get started, as I can't think of anything to say right now. :roll:

    Thanks,

    The worst bit on the second one was ripping the tongue and groove off every block and chop-sawing the grooves off both ends. these were second hand ones you see.
    We had to pull them up from a school hall that had been condemmed when the layer got into trouble with the pattern. The firm had to bite the bullet in the end after repeated sanding and filling over a couple of years.
    They got us in to rip it all up and re lay it.
    I saw £ signs and kept all the old stuff, underestimating the the pain of cutting every one down so that they laid properly and didn't get down to the grooves when sanded. They were on lecol so the new lecol held them fine even without T&G and I did some lovely floors.
    But I nearly went skint in the process due to the machining time. My record was 12m2 machined up in 10 hours.
    I cut up about 100m2 in all. Had 50m2 of bonfires and the rest is probably chipboard now.
    I still get nightmares.

    Must have been a right pain in the butt but looks good.....I'm surprised they wanted the border to go around the radiator cover, though.
