All the ply has been sanded and fully treated with ‘Rubio Monocoat’. It’s already had loads of shit spilled/smeared on it by my kids (especially the bench seating), and it’s all just wiped off so far.
The Douglas Fir ply is a bit more fragile than the birch equivalent; there was some splintering of edges when doing the initial sanding and oiling, but it’s holding up well to family abuse so far.
Finally completed our heat pump plant cupboard, all kit and systems up and running.
Had to squeeze a lot of shit into a 900x700mm footprint; UFH manifolds, several controllers and wiring centres, girthy cylinder and a load of insulated plumbing.
ASHP installer originally demanded a minimum 1500x700mm footprint for the cupboard, but together we managed to fit it all in without compromising the kitchen layout.
Don’t watch the messy cabling, I’ll dress it all at some point…
