Why not just buy some 12mm or is thay too easy?
No transport, and ive spent too much on the cats bothy* as it is. So back at ya
This piece i need to clad one wall, and for the roof.
It's a bit my sister had and spent time in the garden, so a bit green, a bit old and thinking running it through the thicknesser will clean it up better. Plus its not the correct width, so i need to joint and layer it glued up, and this is the best way of doing it with the amount of material I have.
*A wee project as the cats got nowhere to sleep when he's out in the winter nights. The greenhouse has zero insulation, and the door needs to be ajar anyway. So im making him a night shelter. He's a bit of a problem as a large dog got at him when he was younger and destroyed the nerves in his back from about the kidney area down to the lower back, as a result no fur grows there (lost his tail too) so its a bare section. He's had a hard time of it. Deserves something custom built and suitable
4 stud partition walls, clad on the inside in 6mm ply, 30mm of insulation in the walls(studs are 10mmx30mm) then overclad on the outside in 11mm osb, then clad over the top of that in 6mm quarter sawn oak in a clinker overlap. Inside will be lined in thin foam, and a thicker foam flooring(workshop matting),over an osb/polystyrene sandwich. Sloping roof, topped with proper shed felt, so he can sunbath on it in summer.
Putting in 3 windows in 5mm perspex, set at varying sizes and heights, so he only needs to open an eye to see out and around himself(for spotting mice) Proper cat flap on the front as way of an entry.
Sized at 24"Dx18"Wx18"H
Probably out about 60 or 70 quid thus far, another sheet of osb is another 20 quid, and thats not taking the cost of the oak into account.
This is 8'x16" Im not hand planing that when theres a thicknesser there
