Re: DIY Replacement Flooring Progress
I had a few lengths of wood in the garage which I chopped up into little pieces. I don't know the size but they were probably about 2cm by 1cm. That is a guess though! I chopped up little blocks and placed them in. Once they were all in place I put a squirt of adhesive on them (think it was pink grip) and carefully placed the ply on top. Then put weights on and left it to dry. I think with the kitchen on top etc. That it would have been ok like that but I decided to use some pre-existing holes near the step to put a couple of countersunk bolts in so that it can't move anywhere.
When I eventually got the step sorted properly I ended up drilling that and putting a couple of coach bolts through. I tried adhesive before but the constant movement as people got in and out made it come off. Two coach bolts completely sorted that though.

Re: DIY Replacement Flooring Progress
HI,
I'm about to attempt this on the weekend.
Carpets and all ripped out already and good to go.
Plan on making a cardboard template and going from there.
Just a quick query – how did you managed to fit the ply around the seat runners? Did you leave them in the whole time?
I was planning on leaving them in, but I’m thinking this might cause a bit of trouble when fitting the ply.
Any advice would be appreciated, along with any further words of warning or tips.
Thanks in advance.
