Another great video. I've said before that I'll never do a build like this and this is true. But I am, hopefully, going to live in an an off grid home. And as I hate 'house work' I want to keep my living area to a minimum, so most of my time will be outdoors. As a result I've spent a lot of time looking at yacht builds, which also maximizes space. Your version of this has been invaluable.

Another question, so discussed today my lovely tweed with my trimmer and after he frowned that it was not four way stretch he raised his concerns about trimming the areas around the side and rear door opening saying he may not be able to stretch it. First question if I may ,did you foam behind those areas as well, basically how did you achieve such a great finish using the tweed which has no stretch? Sorry to ask another advice question….. I have said to my trimmer urbanarkoverland has managed it:)
@urbanarkoverland2 жыл бұрын
Ha ha. You do have to put joins in. It’s not easy. But if he is a trimmer he should know. It does have a direction. You will probably use it as left to right if the roll as opposed to up to down. Like the opposite of wall papering. Which means the pillar will have a join half way down and then one in the corner. Then do the head. (The top). Yes I used 4mm foam around door pillars 👍🏻 do you follow me on pink square social?

I concur Jonny, I am putting in the exact same ceiling as Aidan with the panels from Evo, the foam, the Tweed fabric, cutting out the fan aperture, the puck lights etc and its a lot of work believe me. One big tip is to get the ply panels because it saved me even more work and stress. Working above your head is one of the most difficult jobs, especially on your own. I'd be lost without Aidans videos as ive studied them even down to the positioning of the lights from looking at the nylon bolts. 2 days so far and ive still not put the fabric on as im waiting for more glue.
