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.

Sounds like youve got it licked Albert. Good for you. Im sure you'll crush it regardless of hiring out the install or not. My guess is youve come this far, you'll smack it down yourself. Thanks for the update.
