2 hours thicknessing/planing
3 hours to carry out the tongue and groove profile (profile already saved as one of the program so no need to muck around)
1 hour of handling and sorting
I began with 16 pieces of 190mm x 45mm. I endup with 188 pieces of usable 92mm x 13mm. 4 pieces waste (ripped too deep)
now I am thinking if I should hire a professional installer or install it myself.
the concrete RH is 8% in the middle of the room and 9% around the wall, its wet season now.
