Default Shower room / shower tray refurb

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

saying something like:

Your local farmers' co-op will cut you ply to suit and charge pro-rata.

Never thought of that - now there's an idea

(Just bought the shower tray & screen off them at 50% off list -
so they know me!)

I knew they'd do odd bits of iron etc cut-to-length - never thought of
seeing if they'd do the same with sheet wood...


Mine do, and will happily sell half and quarter sheets; they won't get
into doing odd sizes, but it's still a saving.


Hmm - hadn't thought of that......
Mind - I'm looking for 6ft x 2ft 6inches - which is a bit over the
half-sheet - maybe I'll just have to bite the bullet and buy an 8x4 -
can always make some more shelves g

I've got an 8x4 of 18mm MDF in the shed - but I think that's probably
tempting providence! g

I'm guessing that these slimline shower trays want supporting across
the whole area..? (less the bit where the waste fits!)

Thanks
Adrian
