    Posted some pics of my work in progress larch cladding if anyone is interested.

    That's very nice and great attention to detail. Where did you source the larch and dare I ask was it expensive? Timber seems to be the new crypto :D

    MTS / woodcomponents.ie

    I've tried to forget how expensive it was. Something like 50/sqm including Sioo:X factory applied and VAT.

    As soon as you depart from ordinary construction timber these things get quite expensive.

    Oh, regarding different tastes, my wife came out to see it the other day.

    Me: So, what you do think?
    Her: It'll look great when it's painted.

    FFS, I give up.

    You'll come home some day and it will be painted 50 shades of grey.
    That job is different class though, full length planks with no joins look a lot better.

    Reminds me of my mother in law getting a lad in to skim the walls in the kitchen only to call up and there she is putting lining paper on the wall before painting 🙈

    Ha, that's only on the front.

    The sides are going to have joins because the wall height is 2.3m and the boards are 4.0m long.

    Could I have ordered 4.8m boards? Don't know, can't remember.

    The back is going to have whatever scraps are left over!

    I actually like a few joins, if they're well executed, on an otherwise blank wall. Complete uniformity is a bit overpowering.

    But maybe I'm just retro-justifying my own bad planning. :pac:
