Only if your crap at what you do, anything is possible with a little knowledge, the right tools and some determination.

I see what you did there!!

Thanks very much Somerford

Thanks for your reply.

Thanks very much for your thoughts and all makes good sense!

Is there much saved by wiring your own frames V wired foundation or are the reasons people do it not just financial? thanks

I can't come back from that one!:)

On this point (and not bee keeping) your incorrect, there is a "Dark Side of The Moon" a great Album from Pink Floyd - early 70's. Sorry to be pedantic but its not often on here I can compete! :)

Makes total sense thanks and using relatively thin ply would add almost nothing to the weight

Yes thanks, id defo agree with the solvent issue but thought water based might not cover well, maybe have to try a couple of products and see which adheres and covers the best. Most people seem to recommend masonry paint for poly hive although Laurence at BMH uses spray tins successfully...

Why would you need to ply line it? The bees can't get at the poly as its covered in the river foil. Thanks

Do you use a particular type of paint which sticks to both the PIR and the tape ok? Thanks

Ex Matelot?

Guess my choice of phrase was little unfortunate there.....

That is a really neat job, thanks for sharing, they must be toast in there!!

This looks like exactly the idea Im looking for to save having to pay a fortune for Abelo Poly Roofs!! Thanks for sharing.

That sounds like a very good possibility for the future, do you remember who does this already? Thanks

I recon your pretty well on the money there. The floors are already on the to do list following on from BMH's videos and the brood box and lid is the only part of the system I'm really going to be looking at for poly in the future with regards to the added insulation.

Thinking aloud and looking to minimise necessary costs where possible in the future.

Thanks, that's defo taking me in the same direction as a couple of others have suggested. Cheers
