Dan,
A bit of a confession. It's actually my old website! I occasionally
have a look in on the Norman website. It gave me a lot of encouragement
and help during restoration. When I saw my old website, I just had
to step in for the first time in over a year.
I am happy that the site has given you the inspiration to 'have a go'.
The email on the front page still works so try emailing again and the best
of luck with you restoration.
Cheers, Kev |

Cliveshep, I still really like the look of the t&g cladding, what would you suggest for treatment on the back before fitting should I go with t&g please ?
Many Thanks,
Dan.

It really isn't much good on a boat period, shrinking to expose tongues in hot dry weather and when the air gets damp swelling back up again, however, a clear rot-proofer coat followed by a couple of coats of any polyurethane varnish will go a long way to mitigating moisture borne movement and of course rot.

Thanks Clive for your information.
