I have searched through the threads but still non the wiser. A friend has had this summer house erected and now wants to insulate it. The plan is to do the walls with 50mm PIR insulation. The roof has timber slats and a felt roof. Would it be acceptable to have a battens in the slots thus...

The plan is to use the existing slats that are firmly fixed at the other end. The router option you mentioned would take me forever to do and it got me thinking about buying a 10mm blade for my multi-tool to clean it out. That together with a chisel might do the trick........

Yes, it is a Lutyens bench. I hadn't thought of the router but that might be tricky to get into.

Can someone please advice as to how I can best go about removing the glue in this bench? I’m thinking chisel and hammer but I’m concerned about weakening the structure. What makes it ackward is tiny hole I have to get it out from.

What polyurethane did you use to seal to MDF top?

As per the subject any ideas? I thought about shot or sand blasting but I have no idea if that would be a worthwhile exercise in terms of cost Thanks

I am always checking out his channel. The guy is clever........

as has been said use T-568B ensure that your cable is not solid core but stranded also, check the RJ45 to make sure you are using the right one for Cat5e cable quality also matters and avoid by all cost those marked CCA or CCE certified or similar. Buy from a reputable company. If you are using...

Can you please let us know how you get on? I was going to go for the cyclone option and use one of my two vacuums a few weeks back but never got round to doing it

see what you make of this? I have always loathed doing my worktops but it was a joy to use the abrasive mesh pads. I have always used Danish oil over the years and wood does indeed require regular maintenance. This time around I used the Osmo for the first time and my initial thoughts so far...
